Özet

Twenty‐four patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who had negative second‐look laparotomy (SLL) were assessed in regard to recurrent disease. Four patients showed recurrence 11–36 months after negative SLL. All four patients had advanced stage and grade III tumors, with two having residual tumors greater than 1 cm in diameter after initial laparotomy. We believe that patients with advanced stage and high‐grade tumors should receive some kind of treatment after negative SLL. Copyright © 1990 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
