title: [Treatment of early stages of ovarian carcinoma. Evaluation of experience at the Institute of Radiation Oncology over a 10-year period (1983-1993)].
abstract: The authors evaluated in a retrospective study the therapeutic results of ovarian carcinoma stage FIGO I (68 patients) and FIGO II (28 patients) attained in the Institute of Radiation Oncology, Prague during the ten-year period from 1983-1993. Total survival and survival without relapse within five years are 77% in stage I and 74% in stage II. The corresponding values of five-year survival without relapse were 56% and 58% resp. Despite the fact that the therapeutic results are comparable with data in the literature, a great shortcoming is the inadequate documentation of the initial laparotomy and the very general histopathological finding, moreover without grading, in a great proportion of the patients. The authors emphasize that these shortcomings make a reliable indication of adjuvant therapy impossible, in particular in early stages of ovarian carcinoma. Despite repeated references to this shortcoming these mistakes have persisted for several decades.
