Management of advanced ovarian cancer in South West Wales − a comparison between primary debulking surgery and primary chemotherapy treatment strategies in an unselected, consecutive patient cohort

Highlights • Study is first report of outcomes for advanced ovarian cancer in Wales, and in UK since publication of recent RCT’s. • Study corroborates recent trial evidence of similar outcomes for primary versus interval debulking surgery in advanced primary ovarian cancer. • “Intent-to-treat” analysis provides good evidence for counselling patients on expectations in “real-world” setting, outside clinical trials.
