Introduction:
Previous national surveys have demonstrated that surgical treatment for ovarian cancer in Denmark is performed in too many low-volume departments.
Material And Methods:
Nationwide data from the National Patient Registry from January 1 December 2004-31 December 2007 including all primary operations for ovarian cancer and recording the number of departments, length of hospital stay and mortality.
Results:
A total of 1,908 women were operated, initially at 47 departments (stage III-IV 31 departments), a number which was reduced to eight departments by 2007 and further reduction to a total of six departments is planned in 2008. The 30-day mortality was constant (about 3.9%) over the 4-year period.
Conclusion:
The organisation of surgical treatment for ovarian cancer has improved since the Danish Health Board in 2001 recommended that operations be performed at five high-volume departments.

Ovarian Cycle
Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
