AIIMS study reveals that removing lymph nodes from these areas may improve survival in ovarian cancer patients

A recent AIIMS, Delhi study reveals that removing specific lymph nodes from the pelvis and abdomen significantly improves survival rates for women with advanced ovarian cancer. The research, involving 105 patients, showed a five-year survival rate of 48.9% with this approach. While the surgery is complex, it addresses residual cancer cells often unaffected by chemotherapy, potentially reducing recurrence.
