Over the course of the past quarter century, an increasing number of observational studies have been published investigating how surgeon and hospital experience can influence the outcomes of patients undergoing complex surgeries. Early studies

significantly greater 5-year survival rate (36% vs 23%; P =.009) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio for progression, 0.66; P <.001) than the group that underwent surgery alone. Much of the evidence for definitive chemoradiation relates to squamous

Purpose : Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) can reduce tumor burden, lower difficulty of surgery in advanced ovarian cancer. However, the option of NACT cycle is still highly controversial. This paper intends to explore whether the number of NACT
