title: [Ovarian cancer and pregnancy. Circumstances of detection, treatment, etiologic and prognostic diagnosis].
abstract: Prognosis of ovarian cancer is usually very serious. In young women whether pregnant or not, some points have to be emphasized: --Histological types with a more favorable prognosis (mucinous, seminomes, border-line) as well as those lower grades, are more frequent in younger women; conservative surgery is indicated in case of strict unilateral localization. --During pregnancy, acute symptoms, frequent routine clinical examinations as well as repeated ultrasonography, allow an earlier diagnosis. --The fetal prognosis is always very serious, especially during the first trimester, the maternal prognosis stays the same, whether the women is pregnant or not. --The two personal clinical reports on pregnancy associated to ovarian cancer, treated and cured with a follow up of respectively 7 and 10 years, do confirm our statement.
