Abstract

Ovarian cancer is a second by the rate gynecological malignant disorder in developed countries and has one of the worst prognosis and mortality rate. In comparison to other gynecological malignant disorders (cervical, uterіne, vaginal, vulvar), patients with ovarian cancer suffer from the biggest mortality rate. Because of the absence of the early detection methods patients most common are identified at developed stage (III or IV by FIGO), thus with limited possibilities for treatment. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common type of ovarian cancer with 90 % of all reported cases. This cancer is divided in five histotypes: highgrade serous, low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear-cell. Histotypes are different in morphology of tumor cells, clinical manifestations intensity, systemic effect and response to treatment. General clinical hardship of ovarian cancer detection on early stages due to the lack of definite semiotic picture produces the big role of primary care specialists for the systemic evaluation of the female health state with consideration of the “small signs” of the disorder, which progress constantly and with time will be transformed to obvious morphological oncomanifestations. Article contains the results of own clinical observations of the features of ovarian cancer. We consider this description as demonstrative for the analysis at practical classes in State language and in English.
