Role of Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Completed
Conditions
Ovarian Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03980028
Lead Sponsor
Institut Claudius Regaud
Brief Summary

To demonstrate that ultra-radical surgery with multiple visceral resections and high tumor burden prior to surgery independently reduces the survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with complete cytoreductive surgery.

Detailed Description

Primary objective :

To demonstrate that ultra-radical surgery with multiple visceral resections and high tumor burden prior to surgery independently reduces the survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with complete cytoreductive surgery.

Secondary objectives:

1. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, the high tumor load before surgery decreases survival. / Evaluate whether there is a sub-group of patients at risk for whom the high tumor burden prior to surgery reduces survival.

2. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, the extension of carcinomatosis to the upper abdomen reduces the chances of survival. / Assess whether there is a subgroup of patients at risk for whom the extension of carcinomatosis to the upper abdomen reduces survival.

3. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO Stage IIIC-IVB) treated by complete cytoreduction surgery, invasion of the celiac lymph nodes reduces survival rates. / Assess whether there is a subset of patients at risk where the invasion of the celiac lymph nodes reduces survival.

4. Demonstrate that, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC-IVB) treated with complete cytoreduction surgery, combination with surgical procedures reduces survival. / Evaluate whether there is a sub-group of at-risk patients for whom the combination of surgical procedures with ultra-radical surgery reduces survival.
