Abstract

The data presented here is related to the research article entitled “FERTILITY-SPARING SURGERY AND REPRODUCTIVE-OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH BORDERLINE OVARIAN TUMORS” by Plett et al. in Journal of Gynecologic Oncology [1] and is analysed and discussed in detail. 18 Patients with Recurrent Borderline Ovarian Tumors (BOT) were identified and listed in Table 1. All patients underwent treatment for primary BOT either per radical surgery (RS) or fertility sparing surgery (FSS) by the same team in Horst Schmidt Klinik (HSK) in Wiesbaden and the Department of Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology at Kliniken Essen-Mitte between January 2000 and December 2018 and were followed up closely. Details on patients` and surgical characteristics are given as well as management of character of recurrent disease. In Table 2 important publications from the last 20 years are listed in order to visualize better the oncologic outcomes (invasive and non-invasive relapses) and calculated risks of recurrence with the purpose to understand better the important findings of the related article cited above.

Highlights

  • All patients were treated by the same team in two locations in Germany: Horst Schmidt Klinik (HSK) in Wiesbaden between January 2000 and December 2010 and the Department of Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology at Kliniken Essen-Mitte between January 2011 and December 2018 City/Region: Essen, Nord-Rhein-Westfalen Country: Germany With the article Fertility-sparing surgery and reproductive-outcomes in patients with borderline ovarian tumors

  • The Kaplan-Meier method was used for univariate analysis of disease-free survival (DFS)

  • DFS was calculated in months from initial surgery to the date of recurrence

Researchers in the field of gynecologic oncology and in the fertility preservation These data may be useful to strengthen the evidences for fertility preservation in BOT and possibly constitute the basis for the design of future studies. We include a review of recent literature data who might be really helpful in having a thorough view of the state of the art of research in this field
