This is a very large ovarian
tumor in the process of being surgically removed. Most large ovarian
masses like this turn out to be benign cystadenomas. Within this
particular tumor was a 5mm area of a low grade adenocarcinoma. Since there
was no evidence of extr-ovarian metastases identified through surgical staging
this patient is classified as Stage1A and Grade 1. This is the only situation
where adjuvant chemotherapy is not required in the treatment of an epithelial
ovarian cancer. |
