Abstract
Introduction. The aim of this study is to compare the therapeutic results of patients with ovarian cancer coexisting with endometriosis with a group of patients with cancer formed in the endometriosis focus in the scar after caesarean section. Methods. We analysed the therapeutic results of patients with ovarian cancer coexisting with endometriosis with a group of patients with cancer formed in the endometriosis focus in the scar after caesarean section. They were operated in the Oncology Centre in Bydgoszcz. All the patients had endometriosis and ovarian cancer confirmed in one tissue preparation. Results. The probability of death at any time is 7.826-times higher in the group with scar cancer than in the group with endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Conclusions. Because scar cancer that arises in the background of endometriosis is an extremely rare condition and also because the prognosis for this group of patients is poor we consider it necessary to plan combination therapy by a multidisciplinary oncological team.
