Systematic Pelvic and Aortic Lymphadenectomy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Patients at the Time of Interval Debulking Surgery: A Double-Institution Case–Control Study

Background The prognostic role of systematic lymphadenectomy remains unclear in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Only few retrospective case series have investigated the percentage of lymph node metastases after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This multi-institutional case-control study analyzed the prognostic role of systematic lymphadenectomy in AOC patients at the time of interval debulking surgery (IDS).
