Abstract

We report the case of a multiple recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) in a platinum-sensitive patient, 46 years of age, who underwent four cytoreductive surgeries for three recurrences of disease. In selected patients, surgery might represent a useful tool in adjunction to chemotherapy for the management of recurrent ovarian cancer.
