Lymphadenectomy in ovarian cancer: is it still justified?
Purpose of Review: The aim of this review is to determine, in the light of recent evidences, the role of lymphadenectomy in ovarian cancer. Recent Findings: The lymphadenectomy in ovarian neoplasms (LION) trial reports no better outcomes and higher complication and mortality rates associated with lymphadenectomy. Even if performed by expert hands, lymphadenectomy has a cost in terms of longer operative time, blood loss, higher rates of transfusions, and intensive unit care.
