Abstract

125 women with ovarian carcinoma were surgically treated during the years 1968 to 1973. The 5-year survival rate was 39.1%. Operative management is the treatment of choice, whereby complete extirpation of the reproductive organy and the omentum should be attempted. Whilst there is no difference in the survival rate of stage I cases treated by the radical as compared with the partial operative procedure, a significant difference is seen in the remaining stages. A conservative operation should only be carried out provided the "healthy" ovary is simultaneously biopsied. In spite of the fact that the survival rate is dependent on other factors there can be no doubt that the pre-eminence of operation in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
