adical Cancer Surgery
The aim of radical cancer surgery is in the fi
rst
i
nstance curat
i
ve. In ovar
i
an
cancer, surgery is
d
iagnostic (provi
d
ing
h
isto
l
ogica
l
materia
l
), nee
d
e
d
f
or
staging, and also therapeutic [2], regardless of the fi
nal stage. In endometrial
cancer, t
h
e surgery is t
h
e cornerstone o
f
treatment even wit
h
a
d
vance
d
d
isease,
provi
d
ing in
f
ormation re
l
ating to stage as we

[3]. In cervica
l
cancer, surger
y
is reserved for curative intent in patients with early disease. In patients with
recurrent cervical disease, sur
g
er
y
ma
y
be curative with exenteration [4] but
is more often palliative to control s
