Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Gynecol Oncol 2018;148:42–48) Superior survival outcomes are obtained by patients with ovarian cancer who are treated by experienced gynecologic oncologists and in hospitals with high case volumes. The relationship between ovarian cancer case volume and survival outcomes has led to recommendations for centralizing ovarian cancer care in high-volume institutions in the United States.
