Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women. Primary surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is the basis of treatment for this disease. A standard treatment includes primary surgery and if possible optimal debulking surgery (tumor residue of <; 1 cm), followed by a chemotherapy; paclitaxel carboplatin is the standard regimen in ovarian cancer. Given that the main method of spreading this disease is in the peritoneal cavity, the systemic chemotherapy brings about numerous complications; moreover, as the method of prescribing a drug inside the peritoneum causes a high drug concentration in the peritoneal cavity, conducting an intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been examined clinically. In cases of ovarian cancer recurrence, performing a secondary cytoreductive surgery, in addition to hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has led to a good survival among patients. Currently, studies are ongoing to better explain the effects of this treatment method compared to previous methods.

Dear Colleague,
Today is a great day for all of us. Three decades of hard work in promoting education, training and conducting numerous complicated surgeries have resulted in significant number of obstetricians and gynecologists across the country. Today, there are programs teaching top-tier subspecialties within this field. Moreover, hundreds of Seminars have been held during the past twenty years by our colleagues. Considering this strong potential, now is the time for us to share our knowledge and experiences in a comprehensive international research journal. Continuing this path is only possible with your contribution and collaboration. In this journal, we are pleased to invite all researches within the field to spread their deep and valuable expert opinions and knowledge to other expertises throughout the world. The editorial board wishes to dedicate this journal to our patients whom happen to be our best teachers.
