[Surgical attitude in cancer of the ovary].

The authors start from the observation that some of the clinical forms of ovarian cancers determine hospitalization and resolution of the cases in surgical departments. They have also based their study on their personal experience acquired over a period of 20 years, during which they have operated on 180 patients. They noted that the best surgical attitude was not adopted in all of the cases and make an analysis of various methods applied, such as the radical ones, the conservative procedures, and those aimed at a reduction of the tumoral mass. The value of associated therapies is presented, consisting in surgery, chemotherapy and irradiation.
