RESUMEN
Background: the borderline or low malignant potential category of ovarian tumors was established because of the observation that a group of proliferative epithelial ovarian tumors lacking invasion that generally behaved in a benign fashion. The purpose of this study is determined the effects of different prognostic factors on survival and relapse of serous borderline tumors that is the most common histologic type
Materials and Methods: 15 patients with previous diagnosis of SBTs enter a survival study and evaluated for the presence or absence of necrosis, associated inflammation, micropapillary/cribriform, FIGO stage and treatment procedure on two clinical conditions of overall survival and disease free survival
Results: the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 35 years [range, 16-68]. The histopathological diagnosis was typical SBTs in 6 patients [40%], SBTs-IEC in 4 patients [20%], SBTs-Mp in 4 patients [26%] and finally SBTs-mi in 2 patients [13.3%]. Statistically difference in the age [P- Value = 0/58] and size [P-Value 0.68] were not found to be significant. Thirteen patients have stage=1 [87%], two patients [13%] had stage>1. The recurrence rate was found in 7% [1 case]. The overall survival was 100% and the disease free survival was 93%. After analysis just a statistically significant relation between high stage, necrosis and mitotic index 10/HPF and disease free survival were obtained [P-value = 0/016]. We did not achieve to statistically significant relation between others histologic feature and disease free survival and In conclusion overall survival
Conclusion: serous low malignant potential tumors have excellent survival and the patients can be treated safely by conservative surgery. The effect of FIGO on survival is consensus when the effects of others factors there are many controversies in the literature. Thus due to imitation of our number of case in each subgroup studies with adequate samples and long follow-up is recommended
