[Current concepts of the surgical management of gynaecological tumours (author's transl)].
The ultimate goal of the surgical management of gynaecological carcinoma certainly is the complete removal of the main tumour or at least a diminution in tumour size, so that the remaining tumour cells can be destroyed by the body's own defensive mechanisms, by an additional course of systematic irradiation or chemotherapy or by a combination of all these measures. Primary removal of the tumour influences a series of useful body functions (cell-linked and humoral antibody reactions, etc.), while the subsequent heightened growth rate of the remaining tumour cells following surgery renders them more sensitive to the additional therapy.
