Major hepatectomy at interval debulking for stage IV ovarian carcinoma: a case report

Gynecol Oncol. 2002 Oct;87(1):138-42. doi: 10.1006/gyno.2002.6717.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have reported the results of hepatic resection for metastatic ovarian cancer at the time of primary cytoreductive surgery and at the time of recurrence.

Case: We present the first case of major hepatic resection performed at the time of interval cytoreduction for metastatic ovarian carcinoma.

Conclusion: Interval debulking with hepatic resection may be a promising approach for patients left with bulky parenchymal liver metastasis after primary cytoreductive surgery.
