Long Term Follow-up after Ovarian Borderline Tumor: Relapse and Survival in a large Patient Cohort

Objective: To asses long term survival and relapse rate of patients (pts) diagnosed with a borderline tumor of the ovary (BOT). Materials and Methods: All women diagnosed for BOT between 1983–2006 were retrospectively analyzed for survival and relapse rates. Results: Altogether, 113 pts could be identified, including 19 treated with fertility spearing surgery (19.2%). 63 patients (55.8%) were diagnosed at early tumor stage (pT1a). Mean follow-up time was 9.6±6.6 years. 10 relapses occurred during the follow-up period (10.1%). pts with recurrent disease had a statistically significant worse survival rate: 5- and…
