Is restaging surgery quintessential in suspected early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer? An ancillary study of the Gynecologic Oncology Research Investigators coLLaborAtion study (GORILLA-3002)
While restaging surgery resulted in upstaging in some patients, it was not associated with significant differences in PFS or OS in this retrospective analysis. However, the omission of any additional treatment warrants careful consideration and further discussion. Nevertheless, the observation that patients who did not undergo restaging surgery but received adjuvant chemotherapy did not show significantly different prognoses highlights the need for further research to establish appropriate treatment strategies tailored to diverse patient contexts.
