Can a morphological description of the peritoneal carcinomatosis in advanced ovarian cancer add prognostic information? Analysis of 1686 patients of the tumor bank ovarian cancer.

Diffuse localization of peritoneal carcinomatosis was significant predictor of recurrence. Lower OS and PFS were associated with diffuse peritoneal localization, wet PC, and additional lymph node involvement. Further prospective trials are warranted with the inclusion of translational research aspects to better understand the different peritoneal carcinomatosis patterns.
