The Trial of Intraoperative Cell Salvage Versus Transfusion in Ovarian Cancer (TIC TOC): Results of a Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study

Key Points

• To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of intraoperative cell salvage compared to transfusion in ovarian cancer surgeries.
• Conducted a randomized controlled trial design
• Included participants undergoing ovarian cancer surgery
• Assessed feasibility in terms of recruitment and retention rates
• Evaluated outcomes related to blood loss and transfusion rates
• Demonstrated feasibility of recruiting patients
• Found differences in blood loss between the two groups
• Transfusion rates varied, providing insights into clinical practices
