ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the therapy and prognosis of palindromic ovarian carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 40 cases of palindromic ovarian carcinoma were reviewed retrospectively. Results After the first surgery, the mean recurrent time of the patients with remained tumors smaller than 2 0 cm was (37 26?11 79) months, and that of the patients with remained tumors larger than 2 0 cm was (7 88?1 49) months. There was a significnat difference in the mean recurrent time between the two groups of the patients with different size of remained tumors(P0 05). Conclusion The recurrence of ovarian cancer was related to the size of remained tumor. Secondary operation plus chemotherapy could improve the short-term survival rate of the patients with palindromic ovarian carcinoma.
