Intra‐operative frozen section analysis for suspected early‐stage ovarian cancer: 11 years of Gateshead Cancer Centre experience

Abstract

Intra-operative FS analysis has excellent diagnostic test accuracy and assists gynaecological oncologists to perform the appropriate surgery in 95% of cases, thereby preventing the morbidity of surgical staging in benign cases and the morbidity of restaging procedures or chemotherapy in early-stage malignant tumours.
