Our results provide evidence that the time interval from PDS to chemotherapy influences PFS in patients with advanced EOC. The optimal time to initiate chemotherapy was between 23 and 43 days, within 3-6 weeks post-operatively. Initiating chemotherapy early (<23 days) did not appear to benefit PFS.
