[Peculiarities of colonic cancer metastasis to the ovaries and the role of prophylactic ovariectomy].
Colonic tumor dissemination to the ovaries was registered in 3%. The likelihood of such dissemination in locally-advanced cancer of the sigmoid colon was higher which in turn supports the hypothesis on colonic tumor dissemination to the ovary via transperitoneal implantation. The patients' condition improved and survival increased following excision of involved ovaries both during and at different stages after radical surgery. Preventive bilateral ovariectomy failed to improve 5-year survival.
