Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PFS(Progression-free survival)

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • OS(Overall Survival)

    From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause or date of last follow up, up to 100 mons

  • Recurrence rate of lymph node

    3 years

  • QoL(Quality of life)

    Baseline, 6 months and 1 year after surgery

  • Postoperative complications

    3 years

Study Arms (2)

No Lymphadenectomy

EXPERIMENTAL

Comprehensive staging surgery with no Lymphadenectomy

Procedure: Comprehensive staging surgery with no Lymphadenectomy

Lymphadenectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Completion staging surgery including systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy

Procedure: Completion staging surgery including systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy

Interventions

* open or minimally invasive surgical approach * cytologic examinations * All peritoneal surfaces should be visualized, and any peritoneal suspicious for metastasis should be selectively excised or biopsied * BSO and hysterectomy * For selected patients desiring to preserve fertility, USO or BSO with uterine preservation may be considered * Omentectomy * Para-aortic lymph node dissection should be performed by stripping the nodal tissue from the vena cava and the aorta bilaterally to at least the level of the inferior mesenteric artery and preferably to the level of the renal vessels * The preferred method of dissecting pelvic lymph nodes is bilateral removal of lymph nodes overlying and anterolateral to the common iliac vessel, overlying and medial to the external iliac vessel, overlying and medial to the hypogastric vessels, and from the obturator fossa at a minimum anterior to the obturator nerve

Lymphadenectomy

* open or minimally invasive surgical approach * cytologic examinations * All peritoneal surfaces should be visualized, and any peritoneal suspicious for metastasis should be selectively excised or biopsied * BSO and hysterectomy * For selected patients desiring to preserve fertility, USO or BSO with uterine preservation may be considered * Omentectomy * In open approach surgery, exploring the pelvic and Para-aortic lymph node with hand. In minimally invasive surgery, the peritoneal above the pelvic and Para-aortic lymph node area should be open and visualized.Biopsy and frozen section of the suspicious lymph nodes

No Lymphadenectomy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Women aged 18 years to 70 years.
  • Primary diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer FIGO stage IA-IIA ( recevive no prior treatment or receive incomplete initial surgery),with indications of adjuvant chemotherapy:①High-grade serous carcinoma; ②Grade 3 endometrioid carcinoma; ③Clear cell carcinoma; ④Grade 2 endometrioid carcinoma with capsule ruptured or pelvic tissues extension ⑤Low-grade serous carcinoma、Grade 1 endometrioid carcinoma and Mucinous carcinoma of the ovary with pelvic tissues extension.
  • Patients who have given their signed and written informed consent.
  • Good performance status (ECOG 0/1).

You may not qualify if:

  • Non epithelial ovarian malignancies and borderline tumors.
  • Suspicious lymph nodes at preoperative radiological evaluation.
  • Intraoperative clinically suspicious lymph nodes (bulky nodes).
  • Secondary invasive neoplasms in the last 5 years (except synchronal endometrial carcinoma FIGO IA G1/2, non melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer T1 N0 M0 G1/2) or with any signs of relapse or activity.
  • Prior chemotherapy for ovarian cancer or abdominal/pelvic radiotherapy.
  • Diseases of the lymph system (including lymph edema of unknown origin).
  • Prior retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (systematic or sampling).
  • Any other concurrent medical conditions contraindicating surgery.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Any reasons interfering with giving of informed consent , abiding by protocol, or regular follow-up.
