The impact of omentectomy on cause-specific survival of Stage I-IIIA epithelial ovarian cancer: A PSM-IPTW analysis based on the SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Routine omentectomy is generally performed during surgery for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The current study aims to evaluate the impact of omentectomy on cause-specific survival of Stage I-IIIA EOC patients.

Methods

Patients who presented with clinical Stage I-IIIA serous, clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous ovarian cancers were selected from the SEER Database for the period between 2004 and 2018. We extracted clinicopathological data and surgical information with the focus on the performance of omentectomy and lymphadenectomy. Binary logistic regression and recursive partitioning analyses were conducted to identify the significant factors for the performance of omentectomy during surgery. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probabilit
