title: [Our experience in treating ovarian tumors with borderline malignancy].
abstract: We tried to evaluate the treatment of borderline ovarian tumours for the period of 1987 till 1999. We analyzed 62 cases as the age varied from 16 till 82 years of age, median 51.2. To most of them was performed surgical treatment, and to some of them immediately second look operation. In 38% of the women under 35 years of age there were, recurrences, as for the all group of border line tumours it was 19% recurrences. The recurrences appeared lately usually after the fifth year. We examined the time of operation, the stage, the histological type, the number of pregnancies, number of recurrences, and the disease free interval. The results showed that the conservative surgery in young women leads to high niveau of pregnancies, and also high level of recurrences. The young patients with unilateral disease stage IA were treated with conservative surgery, with intraoperative staging, without adjuvant chemotherapy. The menopausal women were treated as malignant tumours/Total hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and appendectomy/ We show the need of active follow up of the treated women especially the young ones who are treated conservatively.
