Abstract
Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma (EOC), a type of cancer that is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. To date, standard treatment of EOC is surgery with neoadjuvant or adjuvant platin and taxane based systemic chemotherapy. Hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is considered in cases of recurrence of EOC. HIPEC has been accepted as a gold standart for the treatment of pseudomyoxoma peritonei of ovarian and appendiceal origin. More recently, a randomized clinical trial supports that HIPEC is a promising treatment option for peritoneal metastasis (PM) of ovarian cancer (OC) in surgical series. HIPEC is also reported to be an effective treatment option in primary and recurrent cancer cases with PM of OC. As a result, the standardization and optimization of the HIPEC technique, determination of patient subgroups with PM of the OC responding to treatments, personalized evaluation and the treatments currently carried out by the multidisciplinary team still need to be re-evaluated.
 In this review, it is aimed to update the standard treatment approach in case of peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer, along with the systemic treatments and HIPEC treatment approaches combined with surgery.
