[Carcinoma with low malignant potential (borderline tumor) of the ovary: immunomorphology and clinical aspects].
Four of 28 patients with borderline tumors of the ovary died of intercurrent disease. Twenty-four are alive without clinical evidence of disease, despite the fact that six of them were stage III; joined with the invasive carcinomas they would distort the survival rates. The development of monoclonal antibodies specific to borderline tumors could improve the value of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of borderline tumors. Our results show that the rates of expression of CA 125, CA 19-9, and CEA indicate that borderline tumors are an independent group between benign and malignant ovarian tumors.
