Splenectomy as an indicator for ovarian cancer spread and complete cytoreduction
Splenic metastatic involvement is common in OC and splenectomy is predicted by high PCI. Survival prognosis is equally impaired by all types of spleen metastasis. Splenectomy is an indicator of high tumour burden, high surgical complexity and high-grade postoperative complications, impaired survival and, indirectly, of cytoreduction success.
