title: [Surgical treatment of patients with borderline serous tumors of the ovary].
abstract: The paper deals with the data on treatment of 63 patients with serous borderline tumors of the ovary (SBTO). Mean age was 40.2 years. The study included 30 patients (47.6%) with stage IA tumor, 15 (23.8%)--IB, 4 (6.3%)--II and 14 (22.2%)--stage III. Relapse frequency was 14.3%, irrespective of stage and method of therapy. Surgery was given to 18 patients (28.6%), combined therapy--by 45 (71.4%). Recurrent tumor was recorded after surgery in 2 (3.2%) and in 7 (14.8%) after combined therapy. Generally, surgery is the main treatment received by patients with SBTO. Adjuvant chemotherapy was not followed by decrease in relapse rates.
