Does the addition of 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy after complete surgical resection improve survival in women with early stage epithelial ovarian cancer?
TAH/BSO+/- omentectomy
TAH/BSO+/- omentectomy6 cycles of post-operative chemo (carboplatin AUC 5 or cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2 plus doxorubicin 50mg/m2 plus cisplatin 50mg/m2 (CAP) or cisplatin 70mg/m2)
