Abstract
Women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) usually present with advanced disease and overall only just over half survive 5 years. Even following a complete response to front-line treatment two-thirds will recur, with a resultant dismal prognosis. We review and discuss the role of surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in EOC and present the results of the ovary consensus panel (OCP) convened for the 5th International Workshop on Peritoneal Surface Malignancy.Entities:
