| Abstract: | While surgery is the primary treatment for the management of gynecologic malignancies, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy play a critical role in survival for many patients. In this article, we discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of adjuvant therapy for ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, and discuss current recommendations. |
