Role of hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy in the management of early-stage borderline ovarian tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine survival of women with stage T1 borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) stratified by hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy status at surgery.

Methods

This is a retrospective study examining The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program to identify surgically-treated stage T1 BOTs between 1988 and 2003 (n=4943). Association of surgery patterns and cause-specific survival (CSS) was examined in multivariable analysis.

Results

Mean age was 48.7. The majority had stage T1a disease (75.3%). Median follow-up was 15.6years and 159 (3.2%) women died of BOTs. Hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed in 1909 (38.6%) and 1295 (26.2%) cases, respectively. Most commonly, neither procedure was performed (46.5%), followed by hysterectomy alone (27.3%), lymp
