Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine a combination of anthropometric variables that would enable better differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian masses. Prospective study has been performed in a two year period in which 208 women with ovarian lesions were analyzed and correlated with histopathologic surgical findings. We examined the relation between self-reported anthropometric and other variables (height, weight, body mass index--BMI, parity, marital status, education, age, rural versus urban residence, menopausal status) and incidence of ovarian cancer. Age, parity, marital status and menopausal status individually showed statistical significance.
