[A report about 311 ovarian carcinomas, treated at the "Universitäts-Frauenklinik des Klinikums Mannheim der Universität Heidelberg" from 1960--1978 (author's transl)].
In the medical histories no hints could be found, suggesting a definite risk-group for ovarian carcinoma. Symptoms and complaints are often uncharacteristic and no methods for early recognition are known. The therapy of the ovarian cancer is an operation, combined with chemotherapy, or radiation considering to the stage of the tumour. Most important for the prognosis is the degree of expansion, besides age of the patients and the histological pattern of the tumour. The three-years-survival rate of our patients with stage T1 is 71,7%, and with stage T4 only 13,5%. Above all advance in early diagnosis it is necessary to achieve higher survival rates.
