ABSTRACT
Introduction: ovarian cancer has a high mortality and constitutes the first cause of death from gynecological cancer; it is only preceded by breast cancer although its frequency is lower than other uterine cancers.Objective: to describe types of treatments performed, their results in this group of patients and their relationship to histology and tumor stages.
Methods: an observational, retrospective study of 98 patients with ovarian cancer was carried out at the «Ramón González Coro» Gyneco-Obstetric Teaching Hospital from 2001 to 2013. Data were collected from their medical records. Chi-square test of association was used, and p ‹ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: a number of 45 (67.5 %) received five and six cycles of chemotherapy, with a median of six from the 80 patients who received it after surgery. The most used combination was carboplatin and taxol in 36 (45.0 %). The highest percentages of complete optimal surgical resection were focused on patients with epithelial and stromal tumors: 52.1 % and 52.6 % respectively, as well as, in patients with stage I disease: 22 (68.8 %) with significant association. In 36 (37.1 %) of the operated patients was indication of interval surgery. The 44 (45.4 %) had a disease relapse.
Conclusions: the primary therapeutic option was surgery with relatively high percentages of complete resection and optimal intervention. The most commonly used chemotherapy was the combination of platinum and taxol. There was no significant association between treatments and types of cancer.
