staging should be performed. A salpingo-oophorectomy of the enlarged ovary
should be done and sent for frozen section evaluation.
Debulking surgery. If ovarian carcinoma is confirmed, then a debulking
(cytoreductive) surgical procedure should be performed. This procedure
usually includes a TAH, BSO, omentectomy, and, frequently, bowel resection.
Chemotherapy. Postoperatively patients should be treated with six courses of
a standard chemotherapy regimen, which includes Taxol and carboplatin.
Patients are followed with the tumor marker CA-125.
