An answer, with its sources

Is adjuvant chemotherapy indicated for stage IC expansile mucinous ovarian carcinoma?

For stage IC expansile mucinous ovarian carcinoma the evidence for adjuvant chemotherapy is weak. Expansile tumours have a markedly better prognosis than infiltrative ones, with five-year survival above 90% after complete staging1. The ESMO-ESGO consensus lists platinum-based chemotherapy as an option with a grade of III, B2: level III means the evidence comes from retrospective cohorts rather than randomised trials, and B means the recommendation is moderate rather than strong.

About Helios

Evidence is only useful when it is clear.

Helios helps clinicians move from a focused question to the literature that supports an answer. It keeps sources visible, surfaces uncertainty, and leaves the clinical decision where it belongs: with the clinician.
