Adequate pelvic lymphadenectomy and survival of women with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the trends and survival for women with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent adequate lymphadenectomy during surgical treatment.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational study examining the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results program between 1988 and 2013. We evaluated 21,537 cases of stage I-II epithelial ovarian cancer including serous (n=7,466), clear cell (n=6,903), mucinous (n=4,066), and endometrioid (n=3,102) histology. A time-trend analysis of the proportion of patients who underwent adequate pelvic lymphadenectomy (≥8 per Gynecologic Oncology Group [GOG] criteria, ≥12 per Collaborative Group Report [CGR] criteria for bladder cancer, and >22 per Mayo criteria for endometrial cancer) and a survival analysis associated with a
