Complete surgical resection of isolated recurrent high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer in highly selected patients without chemotherapy is associated with an excellent outcome

This study finds that it may be reasonable to omit chemotherapy in highly selected patients after complete secondary surgical resection. Resection of isolated recurrences can be accomplished with minimally invasive surgery, and these patients have an excellent prognosis. Non-peritoneal recurrences may have a better prognosis after secondary surgery.
