Effectiveness of postoperative chemotherapy for stage IC mucinous ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between postoperative chemotherapy and survival of women with stage IC mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC).

Methods

Comprehensive nationwide tumor registry data from the Commission on Cancer-accredited facilities in the United States from 2004 to 2014 were retrospectively examined. Women with stage IC MOC who underwent primary surgery followed by postoperative chemotherapy were compared to those who did not receive. Clinico-pathological factors associated with chemotherapy use, and overall survival associated with chemotherapy use were examined with multivariable models and propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). External validation was performed by examining the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program fr
