Factors associated with declining cytoreductive surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: a population-based study
Declining surgery is associated with significantly poorer survival in advanced EOC. Sociodemographic factors play a key role in surgical decision-making, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to improve access to surgical care and reduce disparities in EOC treatment outcomes. Further studies should explore the impact of specific chemotherapy and comorbidities on surgery refusal and survival.
