Popis: This study investigated the pattern of first recurrence of advanced ovarian cancer before and after the introduction of aggressive surgery. We investigated 291 patients with stage III/IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer. Aggressive surgery including gastrointestinal and upper abdominal surgeries was introduced for advanced ovarian cancer in 2008. The site and time until first recurrence were compared between 70 patients treated without aggressive surgery (2000–2007) and 221 patients who underwent aggressive surgery (2008–2016). The intraperitoneal recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients treated during 2008–2016 than in patients treated during 2000–2007 (55% [82/149] vs. 81% [46/57], p
