| Key Words |
Krukenberg tumor; Palliative surgery |
| Core Tip |
Krukenberg tumors represent metastases to the ovary and convey a poor prognosis. By reporting our 12-year experience with palliative surgery for Krukenberg tumors and discussing the existing literature, we hope to shed light and establish best practices on the approach to management of the disease. Palliative surgery for patients with Krukenberg tumors can be performed safely in an experienced unit with acceptable complication rates. Where possible, bilateral oophorectomy should be performed to obviate the risk of the contralateral ovary developing symptomatic tumors. Appropriate selection by a multidisciplinary consensus is essential for asymptomatic patients who may benefit from prophylactic surgery. |
