Abstract
Objective To describe the clinical findings, treatment, and outcome of borderline ovarian tumors in 60 patients admitted to the Miguel Servet hospital over a 15-year period. Subjects and methods Sixty patients diagnosed and treated from 1990 to 2004 for borderline ovarian tumors were retrospectively evaluated. Results The results of this study confirm the prognostic value of surgical staging and the utility of fertility-sparing surgery in patients wishing to preserve fertility. In unstaged patients with apparent stage I tumors, overall survival was 100%. Conclusions Borderline ovarian tumors have an excellent prognosis. Good results are provided by conservative surgery in young patients wishing to preserve fertility. In initially unstaged patients with apparent stage I tumors, surgical restaging does not appear to be useful.
