Abstract:
The operation second-look was carried out on 66 women with ovarian cancer without any clinical symptoms of disease. 14 of them (21.2%) showed persistent cancer, including 5-cancer in early stages. The level of CA 125 didn't exceed 35 U/ml in 60 women, and in 5 women persistent cancer wasn't detected during the second-look operation. Negative result of second-look operation doesn't inform about recovery because in 8 women out of 52 recurrence of cancer reported.
