| Abstract | ||
| Ovarian tumors, among all female genital malignancies, represent major gynecological challenge; because of their complex pathology, wide varieties of clinical, morphological, histo-pathological characteristics, and difficulty in early diagnosis due to lack of symptoms. Therefore, ovarian cancer carry the worst prognosis and the highest mortality rate. Moreover, the exact etiology for ovarian tumors occurrence is still poorly understood. Evaluation of cases by full history taking, physical examination, tumor marker serum level and abdomen-pelvis imaging help to calculate RMI, detect origin, malignant potential and spread of the tumor. However, the actual diagnosis of the tumor is achieved at the time of operation and by histopathological results. The initial management of ovarian cancer disease is by surgery aiming to resect, stage and define whether chemotherapy is needed after that or not. Aim of the work Analyze the demographic data, treatment, and follow up in ovarian tumors cases presented at Gynecological Oncology Unit in El Shatby Maternity University Hospital. | ||
