In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Francesco Fanfani to discuss secondary cytoreductive surgery in endometrial cancer. Dr. Francesco Fanfani serves as an associate professor in gynecologic oncology at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, IRCCS in Rome, Italy.
Highlights:
- Secondary cytoreductive surgery with complete gross resection, has the potential to offer significant survival benefits in recurrent endometrial cancer patients.
- Age <65 years, single site recurrence, and nodal or hematogenous recurrence as predictive factors for complete cytoreduction.
- The study’s findings could influence the decision making process in treatment selection, offering valuable insights for future prospective studies and potential impacts on research and clinical practice.
