full free access: CA125 surveillance increases optimal resectability at secondary cytoreductive surgery for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer



CONCLUSIONS: Each week delay after first CA125 elevation correlated with a 3% increased chance of suboptimal resection at SCS (secondary cytoreductive surgery). Serial CA125 surveillance for early detection of recurrence may increase rates of optimal SCS and potentially influence overall survival.  (47 vs. 23months, p<0.0001)
