Ovarian malignancies in the Czech Cancer Registry.
This report is a summary of epidemiological survey of ovarian cancer in the Czech Socialist Republic (CSR) during the period of 1977--1985; the incidence and mortality data have been recorded since the sixties up to the present. In 1985 we also described the morphology types and calculated the estimates of lifetime risk. All conventional epidemiological indicators are discussed and the geographic variations and international comparisons are presented together with the known risk factors and survival. The data can be used for comparisons among countries with similar conditions.
