Multiple digestive resections as part of primary cytoreduction in advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer

N. Bacalbasa, I. Balescu


Abstract: The absence of residual disease remains the strongest predictor for disease free and overall survival in patients with advanced stage or relapsed ovarian cancer. However in most cases this desiderates is achieved after performing multiple visceral resections. Extended pelvic disease usually involves the surrounding pelvic viscera and leads to the necessity of digestive resections such as rectosigmoidectomy. In other cases other digestive resections such as right ileocolectomy might be needed. We present the case of a 64 year old patient in which an R0 resection was feasible after association of rectosigmoidectomy, right ileocolectomy and segmental ileal resection.
