Women with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing intervention for bowel obstruction have a dismal prognosis, regardless of which line of oncologic treatment the intervention was performed. In the majority of women an intervention for bowel obstruction was performed in a relapse situation with an even worse survival. Our findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in the decision-making before an intervention for bowel obstruction in women with advanced ovarian cancer.
