[Radiotherapy in primary radically operated ovarian cancer]. 1985

H J Frischbier, and J Bahnsen

The basis of primary treatment is consequent surgery. Radiation therapy is not necessary for borderline tumors. An effect has been seen in stages Ib to III with a small amount of post-operative residual tumor. A comparison with the value of alternative chemotherapy has not yet been made. Instillation of the radioisotopes is effective. The value of radiation therapy after successful chemotherapy of stages III/IV has not yet been investigated enough. The results of radiation therapy after surgical and chemotherapeutical failure are poor.

D010051	Ovarian Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D002277	Carcinoma	A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm and not a synonym for "cancer."

D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D003536	Cystadenocarcinoma	A malignant neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur. Cystadenocarcinomas develop frequently in the ovaries, where pseudomucinous and serous types are recognized. (Stedman, 25th ed)	Cystadenocarcinomas
