Summary
Surgical intervention for ovarian cancer recurrences in para-aortic lymph nodes achieved complete tumor removal in all 14 patients. This effective treatment for recurrent ovarian cancer demonstrated minimal complications and short recovery times.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Gynecologic Oncology
Context:
- Ovarian cancer frequently recurs, often involving para-aortic lymph nodes.
- Management of recurrent ovarian cancer in these specific lymph node regions presents unique surgical challenges.
Purpose:
- To present the surgical experience and outcomes of treating ovarian cancer recurrences in para-aortic lymph nodes (infrarenal, suprarenal, celiac, and triad).
Summary:
- The study details the surgical approach in 14 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer in para-aortic lymph nodes.
- Complete cytoreduction (no visible tumor) was achieved in all patients.
- The median time to recurrence was 16.5 months, with a median operative time of 90 minutes and median blood loss of 200 ml.
- No intra- or postoperative complications were observed, and the median postoperative recovery period was 5 days.
Impact:
- Demonstrates the feasibility and safety of surgical cytoreduction for ovarian cancer recurrences in challenging lymph node locations.
- Highlights the potential for achieving complete tumor removal, which is crucial for patient outcomes.
- Provides valuable data on operative parameters and patient recovery in this specific oncologic scenario.
