“…This case illustrates the challenges related to the treatment of patients with advanced EOC and pleural disease. Despite being the most common metastatic site of stage IV EOC, the accuracy rate of pleural cytology for suspicious effusions remains low and management can be complex ( Escayola et al, 2015 ). In this case, the patient was initially given NACT, since stage IVB patients benefit from it and response to treatment is a good prognostic factor ( Tajik et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Herein, VATS led to a change in stage of disease in 41% of patients. Both Escayola et al [35] and Di Guilmi et al [36] conclude that VATS may facilitate the selection of patients for PCS. Importantly, VATS should not be performed in patients with low likelihood of complete cytoreduction of tumor in abdomen and pelvis as these patients are candidates for NACT.…”

“…Novel surgical techniques for diaphragmatic surgery (e.g., diaphragmatic peritoneal stripping and diaphragmatic full-thickness resection) have been developed, however the impact of these techniques on OS is still unclear [34]. A review by Escayola et al [35] recently concluded that it is currently unclear whether pleural involvement can reliably be assessed by CT scan and/or chest radiograph alone, and proposed that video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) could be a valuable tool in describing the extent of pleural disease. One of the key findings in a review by Di Guilmi et al [36] was that among patients with negative pleural cytology, 23.5% have pleural disease determined with VATS.…”

“…Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the female reproductive system and has the highest mortality among all gynecological tumors ( 1 , 2 ). Due to the absence of specific symptoms and detective tools, most ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, and the 5-year survival rate remains at approximately 45% ( 3 , 4 ). Despite improvements in surgery and chemotherapy approaches, unfortunately, the majority of advanced patients eventually relapse and die of this disease.…”
