  • Title: Ovarian epithelial tumors of low malignant potential.
    Author: Chien RT, Rettenmaier MA, Micha JP, DiSaia PJ.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1989 Aug; 169(2):143-6. PubMed ID: 2756462.
    Abstract:
    Forty-one patients with epithelial ovarian tumors of low malignant potential are discussed. Twenty-three patients presented with Stage I, four with Stage II and 14 with Stage III disease. All patients with Stage I disease were solely treated surgically. Twelve patients with Stage II and III disease also received postoperative chemotherapy. Four of ten patients had persistent disease at second look laparotomy. Chemotherapy was not used in six patients with Stage II and III disease when the tumor was considered to have been removed completely. Forty of the 41 patients are currently alive and free of disease at two to nine years of follow-up study. Vigorous and, at times, multiple surgical procedures remain the primary treatment of ovarian tumors of low malignant potential.
