Re: second look laparotomy for ovarian cancerFrom: ainsron@sbcglobal.netMon Apr 29 15:11:52 2002
I don't understand why you are considering a second look. In my understanding, a second look is offered to patients who have undergone chemotherapy and in whom the decision to continue or change therapy hinges on the findings at 2nd look. In fact the gyn oncs I've talked to recently only recommend them as part of research protocols, not simply to satisfy idle curiosity. Here you have a patient with no evidence of disease, who irrationally refused chemotherapy and gyn oncology referral one year ago. What is she going to do when you look in and find papillary studding or have positive cell washings? Or for that matter, what are you going to do?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
