[Involvement of pelvic lymph nodes in ovarian cancer]

In contrast to earlier operating standards some authors have in the past few years, also removed pelvic lymphnodes when ovarian cancer was diagnosed. From 26 of our patients suffering from ovarian cancer, one third proved to have positive lymphnodes, when pelvic lymphonodectomy was carried out. Our data, along with-data from other authors, were reviewed and included in a statistical evaluation.
