The Impact of Surgery Delay on Early-Stage Ovarian Cancer by Dimitrios Zouzoulas, Dimitrios Tsolakidis, Iliana Sofianou, Tilemachos Karalis, Michalis Aristotelidis, Panagiotis Tzitzis, Evangelia Deligeoroglou, Maria Topalidou, Eleni Timotheadou, Grigoris Grimbizis

“…Furthermore, no differences were presented in the post-operative complications rate, hospital stay, ICU admittance, or in disease-free (<i>p</i> = 0.48) and overall survival rates (<i>p</i> = 0.703). (4) Conclusions: Suspicious adnexal masses should undergo careful differential diagnosis to avoid delays in the “wait and see” period when the final diagnosis is positive for malignancy. However, the time to surgery for early-stage OC over 5 weeks seems to be relatively safe, with no impact on the mortality, morbidity, or recurrence rate.…”
