[Effectiveness of surgical measures in progressive ovarian cancer]

A report is given about the value of the active large removing of tumour-tissue in cases of advanced ovarian cancers (89 patients suffering an ovarian in the stage T3/T4M1 in the time from 1970 to 1975). The survival chances of the 49 patients in which it was possible to remove greatest parts of the tumours, was nearly 20 per cent better than in 38 patients without such therapy.
