Who is a good candidate for this procedure, and are there any contraindications?

Ideal candidates are patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer where complete or near-complete surgical resection is feasible. You should have adequate organ function (kidney, liver, bone marrow) to tolerate chemotherapy and no severe comorbidities like uncontrolled heart disease or active infections. Contraindications include widespread metastatic disease that cannot be safely debulked, poor performance status (ECOG score >2), or prior allergic reactions to platinum or taxane drugs. Your oncologist will evaluate imaging and biopsy results to confirm suitability.
