a One patient with IIIB stage was included in IIIC (III vs. IV). b One patient was not evaluated due to loss at follow up. NGS: Next-generation sequencing; FIGO: Fédération Internationale de Ginécologie et d’Obstetrique; RD: residual disease; PDS: primary debulking surgery. Comparisons were performed using Fisher’s Exact test or Chi-squared test; according to Bonferroni, p value < 0.008 was considered significant and was depicted in bold.
