Success rate and safety of tumor debulking with diaphragmatic surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer and peritoneal cancer

Purpose In advanced epithelial ovarian and peritoneal cancer, residual tumor diameter correlates with prognosis; therefore, maximum debulking and optimal surgery (OS) for residual tumors <1 cm is warranted. Here, we clarified the efficacy of tumor debulking with diaphragmatic surgery (DS).
