Description
Ovarian cancer has usually reached an advanced stage when it is detected. Maximal effort cytoreductive surgery (also known as extensive or ultra-radical surgery) for advanced ovarian cancer aims to improve outcomes for people with advanced ovarian cancer by removing all or almost all visible cancerous tissue. More tissue is removed than with standard surgery. As well as removing the ovaries, fallopian tubes and womb, tissue from the spleen, liver, diaphragm, peritoneum and bowel may also be removed.
