abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore how
cytoreductive surgical outcomes such as residual disease (RD) and use
of the term "optimal cytoreduction" (OCR) have changed over time in the
ovarian cancer literature.
Conclusions: Optimal cytoreduction terminology remains
ambiguous and inconsistently used in the ovarian cancer surgical
literature. On the basis of this literature review, we propose a novel
classification system to categorize RD without reference to OCR while
accurately and succinctly identifying meaningful clinical subgroups and
minimizing bias.
