Abstract | ||||
Malignant ovarian neoplasms cause more deaths than any other cancer of the female genital tract and is the seventh most common cancer diagnosed. Staging for ovarian cancer is principally surgical and should include total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, only unilateral adnexectomy in fertility preservation surgery, at least infra-colic omentectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, lymph node sampling including pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes up to renal veins, peritoneal wash and appendectomy in case of suspicion of mucinous histology. During initial surgery, early stage ovarian cancer patients are often incompletely staged. This oversight can have unfavorable sequelae for the prognosis of such patients, as the completeness of surgical staging is an independent prognostic parameter for survival. The aim of this work was to retrospectively review patients with ovarian malignancy from period 2017-2019 in gyne-oncology department of Elshatby hospital. This retrospective study was conducted on records of women admitted to gyne-oncology department in Elshatby hospital during period from 1/6/2017 to 1/6/2019 diagnosed with ovarian malignancy. | ||||
