Staging and second-look operations in ovarian cancer

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 23))

Abstract

The appropriate management of patients with ovarian cancer requires a thorough primary surgical staging, and a subsequent surgical evaluation of response to therapy is often indicated. In most patients, even those whose tumors have disseminated throughout the peritoneal cavity, the extent of disease prior to initiation of therapy is unclear because the metastases are asymptomatic. In addition, since the majority of individuals are in clinical remission at the completion of their chemotherapy, an operative method is needed to assess the response to therapy, because noninvasive techniques are too insensitive. The ‘second-look’ operation has become a standard procedure in many institutions.
