Objective. The recent EORTC-NCIC randomized trial comparing primary debulking surgery (PDS) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) reported a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 12 months and overall survival (OS) of 30 months for both arms. Due to the equivalent survival and decreased morbidity with NACT, many now consider it the preferred approach. We analyzed the outcomes of patients treated with PDS at our institution during the same time period in which the EORTC-NCIC trial was conducted, using identical inclusion criteria.Methods. We identified all patients undergoing primary treatment for advanced EOC at our institution from 9/98-12/06. Study inclusion and exclusion criteria were identical to those of the EORTC-NCIC trial. Standard statistical tests were used.Results. Of 316 eligible patients, 285 (90%) underwent PDS and 31(10%) received NACT due to extra-abdominal disease, medical comorbidities, and/or advanced age (>85 years). Of the 285 patients who underwent PDS, most had carcinoma of ovarian origin (248, 87%); stage IIIC disease (249, 87%); grade 3 tumors (237, 83%); and serous histology (249,87%). Optimal cytoreduction (
