Factors Influencing Survival in Carcinoma of the Ovary

PMCID: PMC2008455  PMID: 4329950

Abstract

Three hundred and nineteen patients with primary adenocarcinoma of the ovary were studied to define those factors, many of them histopathological, which influence survival. The paper considers the stage of spread at the time of operation, the histological type of the tumour, its grade and in particular its mitotic activity, which proved a significant feature per se in assessing prognosis in ovarian cancer.
