Clinical Trial

Different sequential approaches of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in treating ovarian cancer with malignant ascites.

Treatment for malignant ascites in advanced ovarian cancer (OC) patients remains controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of combined continuous circulatory hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) preceded or followed by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for malignant ascites in OC patients. ⋯ Cytoreductive surgery with immediate HIPEC and HIPEC with dCRS, determined by vital sign stability, may lead to similar outcomes in OC patients with malignant ascites.
