Diaphragmatic Surgery in Patients with Advanced-Stage Ovarian Cancer: A Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ovarian cancer is a lethal malignancy for patients with advanced disease without any significant survival figures despite medical progresses [1]. Because of late diagnosis, the overall five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is approximately 30%. Over 75% of the patients will be diagnosed with FIGO stage III or IV, with involvement of the upper abdomen. Metastases to the diaphragm, especially to the right hemi-diaphragm, are very common and up 40% of patients advanced-stage ovarian cancer have bulky metastatic diaphragmatic disease which leads to suboptimal cytoreduction and therefore to a lower rate of survival [2].
