Key Points
- Completely staged, early epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers are highly curable. As such, patients should be referred to a gynecologic oncologist for adequate staging, including sampling of para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes, infracolic omentectomy, possible appendectomy and biopsy of suspicious peritoneal lesions, in addition to a thorough inspection and palpation of all peritoneal surfaces, and peritoneal washings.
- Advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers are best treated with optimal debulking surgery in conjunction with adjuvant therapy. As such, patients should be referred to a gynecologic oncologist
