Abstract:
Epithelial carcinoma of the ovary is the most lethal of gynaecological malignancies and it affects about one in 70 women in developed countries. Over 75% of women with the disease have tumour spread beyond the pelvis at the time of diagnosis, and their treatment requires the appropriate use of surgery and chemotherapy.
