Abstract

In this retrospective trial we analyzed the data for 200 patients with serous papillary ovarian cancer. The patients were treated with various operation strategies following an interdisciplinary conference among a surgeon, a gynecologist, and an oncologist. Mean overall survival was 26 months. It was significantly better in patients with primary and secondary debulking operations in combination with sufficient postoperative chemotherapy. The morbidity rate reached 16.8%, the overal mortality rate was 5.7%. The mortality for the first surgical intervention was 0%.
