Abstract

Approximately 30% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer present with localized or early-stage disease. Accuracy of staging is dependent on careful surgical staging. Subsets of patients with specific prognostic factors have now been identified who do not require additional therapy after proper primary surgical staging. Poor prognosis patients do require adjuvant therapy. Whole abdominal irradiation, intraperitoneal P32, and single agent and combination chemotherapy have been utilized. The optimal therapy or whether any therapy is truly effective remains unknown.
