In this case series, the authors describe supportive care outcomes in ovarian
cancer patients with malignant bowel obstruction receiving the effects of VG in a community setting. Their results suggest that VG may be beneficial in controlling nausea and
vomiting in ovarian cancer patients with MBO and that VG placement with
concurrent evacuation of large-volume ascites was associated with minimal
complications.
