Therapeutic Significance of Comprehensive Lymphadenectomy in Early-stage Clear Cell Carcinoma of Ovary

ABSTRACT

Aim: This study aims to study the therapeutic significance of full lymphadenectomy in early-stage ovarian clear cell carcinoma.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the patients with early-stage epithelial cell carcinoma. The followingprocedures were performed Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy (if not previously performed), washing, randommultiple peritoneal biopsies, omentectomy, and systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy.Results: A total of 96 of 107 women with epithelial cell carcinoma were suitable for analysis. Endometrioid (35.5%), serous(22.4%), and clear cell (7.5%) cancers represented in the histological types. 12.5% rate of lymph node metastases in apparentepithelial cell carcinoma after lymph node assessment, no cases reported in clear cell carcinoma.Conclusion: The present results suggest that some patients with selected early-stage clear cell carcinoma may benefit fromfull lymphadenectomy
