[Medical rehabilitation of patients with ovarian tumors]

The report deals with the results of a study of 60 cases of proliferating and 106-malignant tumors of the ovaries treated according to a special rehabilitation program for 1.5-10 years after primary therapy. The effectiveness of post-treatment medical rehabilitation was shown to depend on the following major factors: patient's age, concomitant pathology, stage of disease, type and duration of therapy. Combined treatment-induced functional disturbances remained manifest in 31.6-80.6% of patients for more than a year. Recommendations for wider application of medical rehabilitation of ovarian cancer patients are discussed.
