With the help of surgical cytoreduction in combination with chemotherapy, it is possible to recover in 90 patients successfully.

What is this technique

Surgical surgery is considered the most crucial step in the complex of measures for advanced cancer of the ovaries and uterus. Most women with primary oncology achieve remission with this combination treatment. The main objective of cytoreduction is the complete removal of the tumor site and metastases, and platinum preparations, which used in chemotherapy, help consolidate the effect.

What types of operations exist

Surgical cytoreductions divided into several types:

• complete – the entire affected areas removed;
• optimal – a tumor remains in the amount of 1 cm;
• suboptimal – the remaining neoplasm is 1-2 cm;
• non-optimal – the residual formation exceeds 2 cm.
• Also, this type of operation can be divided by time:
• primary – involves the removal of the maximum possible volume of the tumor and metastases;
• intermediate – usually occurs after a course of chemotherapy;
• secondary – performed in case of relapse;
• palliative – used to alleviate the condition of the patient in the last stages of the disease.

According to studies, such an integrated approach is the most effective, and patient survival increased several times. It should be noted that Tel Aviv Medical Clinic specialists are continually improving their methods and are looking for the safest ways to recover for patients successfully.
