Abstract
The standard of care for women with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) involves surgery followed by adjuvant platinum-based combination chemotherapy. One of the goals of surgery is to resect all macroscopic disease. In this review we will discuss the justification for an aggressive surgical approach, including a discussion of factors limiting its implementation and suggestions for providing appropriate surgical intervention for all women with EOC.Entities:
