title: Ovarian cancer: the ten year experience of a district general hospital.
abstract: Ninety-seven cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed and treated at Northwick Park Hospital between 1970 and 1980. In this retrospective study data are presented about symptomatology and certain aetiological factors. The survival with different treatment regimens is compared, with particular reference to the improved figures resulting from a policy of aggressive surgery followed by multiple chemotherapy.
