Early diagnosis is the most effective means of reducing the currently high mortality rate associated with ovarian cancer. The palpation of what appears to be a normal sized ovary in a premenopausal woman suggests an ovarian tumor in a postmenopausal woman. Also, rule out ovarian cancer in any 40-60 year old woman who presents with persistent, unexplained GI symptoms. Ninety percent of all ovarian tumors are of epithelial origin. Treatment consists of total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy and instillation of P32. In Stage II through IV cancers, post-operative irradiation is added to the protocol.
