The Chicago Consensus on peritoneal surface malignancies: Management of ovarian neoplasms

Abstract

The Chicago Consensus Working Group provides multidisciplinary recommendations for the management of ovarian neoplasms specifically related to the management of peritoneal surface malignancy. These guidelines are developed with input from leading experts, including surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, palliative care physicians, and pharmacists. These guidelines recognize and address the emerging need for increased awareness in the appropriate management of peritoneal surface disease. They are not intended to replace the quest for higher levels of evidence.

Keywords: consensus; neoplasm metastasis; ovarian epithelial neoplasm; ovarian neoplasms; peritoneal neoplasms.
