Effect of quality control program on surgical management in advanced ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We investigated the effect of our quality control (QC) program on the management strategy, completeness of the surgery, and clinical outcomes in advanced ovarian cancer.

Methods

A retrospective review of medical records from January 2005 to December 2019 identified 129 patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Cases were categorized into group 1 (2005-2013) and group 2 (2014-2019) before and after implementation of the QC program. Comparisons included clinicopathological variables, operative details, recurrence and survival outcomes.

Results

In Group 2 (n=44), after QC program implementation, primary debulking surgery (PDS) decreased (87.1% vs. 63.6%) and interval debulking surgery (IDS) increased (12.9% vs. 36.4%), indicating a shift in surgical strategy. Opti
