Clinical experience in gynaecological cancer management. D) Ovarian tumors--non-epithelial: report from the Gynaecological Institute of Padua University.
All the non-epithelial ovarian tumors observed from 1963 to 1991 in the Gynaecologic and Obstetric Institute of Padua University (I clinic Padova, II clinic Verona) are evaluated in order to outline the value of some risk factors: Post-Surgical FIGO stage, histotype and treatments. Sex-cord stromal tumors, germ cell tumors, sarcomas and gonadoblastomas are analyzed separately because of their different epidemiology and biology. The most important risk factor for prognosis is certainly the tumor stage at the first diagnosis.
