Action Points

• This study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
• Note that these studies suggest that Asians with various stages of ovarian cancer have improved outcomes versus white patients.
• Be aware that inability to adjust for socioeconomic factors limits the ability to conclude what mediates the perceived benefit of Asian race.
