Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez, is joined by Dr. Jorge Hoegl to discuss peritoneal carcinomatosis after minimally invasive surgery in cervical cancer. Dr. Jorge Hoegl is an early career gynecologic oncologist at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the General Hospital of the East “Dr. Domingo Luciani” in Caracas, Venezuela.

Highlights:

-Peritoneal carcinomatosis represented more than 15% of all recurrences, with a recurrence rate of 22.2% in minimally invasive surgery compared to 8.8%.

-Peritoneal carcinomatosis has been frequently grouped within distant recurrences and perhaps this made it not such a notorious fact.

-Peritoneal carcinomatosis does not appear to be an unusual recurrence pattern associated with cervical cancer and it should be reported separately.
