Abstract
Ovarian carcinoma remains a leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Proper treatment of ovarian cancer begins with a thorough staging operation and attempt to totally debulk tumor sites. Despite even maximal surgical efforts, most patients with ovarian cancer require systemic or intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Even though aggressive therapies are effective for the treatment of ovarian cancer, recurrence of the disease is common and often necessitates salvage surgical procedures and chemotherapy.
