Abstract

Objective: A comprehensive overview of surgical treatment of recurrent gynecological malignancies. Recurrent breast malignancies are not included in this review. Methodology: A review providing overview of surgical treatment options for recurrent malignancies of adnexa of the uterus (ovary, fallopian tube), uterine corpus, uterine cervix, and carcinoma of the vagina and vulva. Conclusion: Optimal surgical treatment for patients with recurrent cancer is based on multidisciplinary approach with stratification according to individual prognostic markers. These include patient’s performance status, outcome of primary surgery, current extent of recurrence, and histopathological, molecular, and biochemical characteristics. Decision about choice of treatment should be individually discussed and evaluated by the multidisciplinary oncogynecological commission board.
