Abstract
⺠Adequacy of surgical staging was evaluated for early stage ovarian cancer patients. ⺠Involvement of a gynecologic oncologist increased the probability of adequate staging. ⺠Patients without lymph node assessment had nearly twice the risk of death. ⺠Lack of node sampling had a survival effect only on patients who had no chemotherapy.
