Brief summary

stage III epithelial ovarian cancer randomizing between primary cytoreductive surgery with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to prove that treatment with primary cytoreductive surgery in combination with HIPEC (treatment arm) improves outcome compared to primary cytoreductive surgery without HIPEC (standard arm) with acceptable morbidity, in patients with FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer who are eligible for primary cytoreductive surgery with no residual disease, or residual disease up to 2.5 mm.
