Abstract

Objectives: To know the characteristics of ovarian cancer patients with pleural and lung metastasis, and survival rates of ovarian cancer patients with pleural and lung metastasis in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in 2014-2015.Materials & Methods: This was a descriptive observational study using secondary data from medical records in dr.

Ascites was found in 80% of ovarian cancer with pleural metastasis, but only 42.86% in lung metastasis. In 2 patients receiving NAC chemotherapy and continued by interval debulking, both had negative residues. Median survival rate in ovarian cancer with pleural metastasis was 7 months, whereas in lung metastasis was 12 months.Conclusions: Number of new patients of ovarian cancer in 2014-2015 in dr.
