removal of pelvic retroperitoneal and<br />

aortic lymph nodes. Reproductive function<br />

and fertility may be conserved in patients<br />

with a unilateral, low-grade, unruptured<br />

epithelial ovarian tumour. Advanced stage<br />

ovarian <strong>cancer</strong> requires cytoreductive surgery<br />

to remove all gross tumour, followed<br />

by chemotherapy. External beam radiotherapy<br />

may play a limited role in selected<br />

patients with minimal residual disease.<br />

Intraperitoneal implants may be used as<br />

adjuvant treatment for high-risk patients<br />

with early disease.<br />

A standard chemotherapy for advanced<br />

stage ovarian <strong>cancer</strong> using cisplatin and<br />

60-80%. Germ cell tumours are very sensitive<br />

to chemotherapy and may be treat-<br />

be treated with cytoreductive surgery plus<br />

chemotherapy and palliative radiotherapy.<br />

Hormonal therapy may include progestational<br />

agents and anti-estrogens.<br />

Tumour stage (determined surgically) is<br />

the most important prognostic factor.<br />

Clear cell and small cell carcinomas are<br />

associated with a worse prognosis than<br />

other histological types. Aneuploidy has<br />

been linked to poor survival. In the assessment<br />

of response to treatment, decrease<br />

in serum CA-125 measurements indicates<br />

a more favourable prognosis. Early stage<br />

disease has a very good prognosis. Overal<br />

five-year survival rates for all stages combined<br />

(Fig. 5.71) range from 30-50%. Most<br />

women, however, present with late stage<br />

disease which is associated with a fiveyear<br />

survival rate of about 20%.<br />
