[Early stage ovarian carcinoma--diagnosis and treatment].
The prognosis of patients with early stage ovarian borderline tumour and carcinoma is good. In spite of this most patient management has been unnecessarily heavy. DNA ploidy is an independent and the strongest prognostic predictor of survival with an excellent prognosis in patients with diploid tumours, it should be included in the routine evaluation of patients in order to achieve optimal and individual management. Image cytometry is superior to flow cytometry in predicting prognosis.
