Oncologic Concerns regarding Laparoscopic Cytoreductive Surgery in Patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancer Submitted to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Abstract

Laparoscopic optimal debulking surgery after NACT is feasible and effective in selected patients. Nevertheless, laparoscopy was substantially associated with inferior oncologic results. Endoscopic cytoreduction in AOC should be cautiously suggested until larger prospective trials confirm the observed results.
