Abstract EN
Background: Complete cytoreduction has been associated with survival benefit in the treatment of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
In this study, the aim is to investigate the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of recurrent EOC.
Patients and methods: This is a descriptive (case series) study including 9 patients with recurrent EOC treated by CRS and HIPEC.
They were treated and followed up between December 2011 and December 2017.
The study was performed at The National Cancer Institute (NCI) – Cairo University (CU).
Results: Postoperative death occurred in 2 cases, while recurrence occurred in one case.
Six cases had smooth postoperative course and free follow-up.
Median follow-up period was 39 months, ranging from 29 to 47 months.
Median overall survival was 42 months while median disease-free survival was not reached.
Conclusions: Treatment of recurrent EOC by CRS and HIPEC appears to be promising.
However, this line of treatment requires further evaluations and larger studies for better assessment of the potential survival benefits and possible complications
