In this informative video, Prof Denys, medical oncologist at the University Hospital Ghent, engages in a discussion with Prof Els Van Nieuwenhuysen, an oncologist-gynaecologist from the University Hospital in Leuven.
The conversation revolves around two studies presented in a Clinical Science Symposium on the surgical management of gynaecological cancers. These studies offer valuable insights into whether surgical management of gynaecological cancer can bring about any practice changes. The SHAPE study is an international randomized phase III trial that compares radical hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection with simple hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection in patients with low-risk early-stage cervical cancer.
The final survival analysis of the phase III OVHIPEC-1 trial of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in ovarian cancer was presented after a ten-year follow-up. All in all, these studies offer exciting data, and we can look forward to more interesting data in the coming days.
