According to the latest morphological and molecular knowledge it seems that the origin of epithelial ovarian cancers, i.e. carcinomas resides elsewhere than in the ovary, or that at least the early development of the disease takes place outside the ovary. According to the new scientific thought, tumors observed in the ovaries would be secondary processes by nature. Change of the viewpoint plays a crucial role in the development of prevention and early diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma. The new knowledge of the pathogenesis of ovarian carcinoma also opens possibilities for more effective post-operative treatments.
根据最新的形态学和分子学知识，上皮性卵巢癌（即癌）的起源似乎并非在卵巢，或者至少该疾病的早期发展是在卵巢外发生的。根据新的科学观点，在卵巢中观察到的肿瘤本质上可能是继发性病变。这种观点的转变在卵巢癌的预防和早期诊断发展中起着至关重要的作用。卵巢癌发病机制的新知识也为更有效的术后治疗开辟了可能性。
