  • To promote the training of gynecological surgeons treating especially

advanced stages of diseases

  • To improve the average standard of surgical care for ovarian cancer

surgery and to build a network of certified centers.

  • Centers meeting the targets will be granted an accreditation known

  • Reduce tumor burden

→ increase total macroscopic tumor clearance by lower multivisceral resection rates → reduce surgical morbidity and mortality → increase post- op QoL (lower stoma rates, less pain,

adhesions etc.)

→ reduce amount of healthcare ressources required

(theatre time, ITU-/, hospital stay, transfusion rates, fluid shifts)

Summary – recommendation for surgery in advanced OC

  • Surgical effort only modifiable factor in advanced OC surgery

influencing survival

  • Expertise and training lead to higher complete resection rates

without unjustifiable morbidity risk

  • Timing of surgery still to be determined, but identification of
  • ptimal surgical candidates keyfactor
  • Role of systematic LND: TBC, in the presence of bulky LN

removal necessary as part of the debulking
