Prognostic impact of celiac lymph node involvement in patients after frontline treatment for advanced ovarian cancer

International audienceCompleteness of cytoreduction is the most important prognostic factor in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC). Extensive upper abdominal surgery has allowed to increase the rate complete cytoreduction and the feasibility of resection of celiac lymph nodes (CLN) and porta hepatis disease in these patients has been demonstrated. The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic impact of CLN involvement in patients with primary advanced OC undergoing a complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS)
