Abstract

Although epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) spreads through peritoneal circulation, all patients with clinical early-stage ovarian cancer (OC) benefit from routine surgical staging is still unclear. This cross-sectional study used data from medical records of patients with clinical early-stage EOC who received complete surgical staging from 2006 to 2016 at our hospital. We excluded patients with non-epithelial OC or with stage IV disease. Among 50 patients with clinical early-stage EOC who underwent surgical staging, biopsies showed EOC cells in peritoneal fluid for 12 patients (24%), in peritoneal tissue for ten patients (20%), and omental tissue for eight patients (16%). Of those 50 patients, 40 patients had undergone peritoneal biopsies, and the other five patients also had omental biopsies. The results showed that only one (2.5%) from 40 patients with peritoneal biopsy and three (6.7%) from 45 patients with omental biopsy had no visible nodules. From cytology examination, 3 out of 26 patients (11.5%) showed positive cytology from peritoneal washing. Routine peritoneal biopsies do not seem advantageous for patients with clinical early-stage EOC as negative visible nodules with positive biopsy results were only 1 in 40 cases. However, further study with a larger cohort is needed to obtain more information on peritoneal fluid metastasis patterns.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 March 2021.
All research outputs
#20,692,340
of 23,289,753 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Ovarian Research
#446
of 611 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#363,775
of 426,106 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Ovarian Research
#18
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,289,753 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 611 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 426,106 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
