Candekova Marijetta Rafajelovna

Introduction. Today, little is known about factors that predict the survival of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). Objective: To evaluate the survival rates of patients with ovarian cancer, depending on the clinical characteristics and features of treatment. Materials and methods: The data of a comprehensive clinical examination of 132 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were analyzed (mean age - 57.6 ± 9.8 years). All patients underwent a comprehensive examination aimed at clarifying the diagnosis, determining the prevalence of a primary tumor, regional or distant metastases, determining indications for therapy and the extent of surgical intervention, identifying complications and concomitant pathology. Results: It was found that the disease stage plays an important role in relation to the prognosis of the disease in the examined patients, at the same time, the histological type did not matter, probably due to the fact that the majority of patients had one type of tumor - serous and a larger contribution to the indicator degree of differentiation. The presence of metastasis turned out to be important, and the prognosis changed depending on localization. More favorable is the primary treatment in the optimal volume. Conclusion: the identification of factors that contribute to the survival of patients will allow choosing the best treatment options, which will further contribute to improving the quality of life and prognosis of these patients.
