Population-based analysis evaluates lymphadenectomy's impact on survival in ovarian cancer, suggesting implications for treatment strategies.
The role of systematic lymphadenectomy (LND) in clinically node-negative ovarian cancer remains controversial. Although LND improves staging by detecting occult nodal metastases, it increases surgical morbidity and its therapeutic value is uncertain. We evaluated the diagnostic yield and survival association of LND in a population-based cohort.
