Abstract
Whilst cytoreductive surgery is the mainstay treatment for primary ovarian cancer, its role in relapse is still unclear. Surgery in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer might be beneficial if it results in complete resection of the disease. Clinical scores could help to identify suitable patients. Level I evidence is still missing; however, two randomized trials (DESKTOP III and GOG 213) are ongoing.Entities:
