The peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) can be used to quantify the tumor burden in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The aim of the present study was to establish a predictive model for suboptimal cytoreductive surgery (SCS) (residual tumor of > 1 cm) using preoperative and intraoperative...
