The Predictive Model of Suboptimal Primary Debulking Surgery among Women with Ovarian Cancer Using Pre-Operative Computerized Tomography, Tumor Markers and Comparison with the Intraoperative Findings: An Experience in Tertiary Care Hospital of Pakist

This study proposed a predictive model using pre-operative CT scan criteria and tumor marker serum CA-125 level which will help in scoring the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Subsequent treatment options should be decided either in the form of upfront debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Further prospective studies are required to formulate a better applicable predictive model in all types of ovarian cancer including germ-cell ovarian tumors and sex cord-stromal tumors.
