The silent ovary: a five year survey of cancer of the ovary at the Hutt Hospital 1973-1977.
Cancer of the ovary is the leading cause of death from gynaecological cancer. Forty-six cases are reported to re-emphasise certain features. These include the short history and the high mortality rate regardless of what treatment is used. Whereas improvement has occurred in the treatment of cancer of the corpus and the cervix, there has been no improvement over two decades in cancer of the ovary. The moral of this tale, is to advise your women folk to avoid cancer of the ovary.
