| Popis: | BACKGROUND:Ovarian tumors in children are rare, mature teratoma being the most common histological entity. Robust guidelines to aid patient follow-up after resection are distinctly lacking. Although mature teratoma has a very good prognosis following complete resection, small studies have reported the occurrence of metachronous disease and recurrence to a variable degree (2.5-23% of patients). Nevertheless, there are surgeons who recommend no follow-up is required for these children after primary tumor resection. We investigated the incidence of (i) recurrence and (ii) metachronous disease in pediatric patients following ovarian tumor resection. METHODS:Retrospective multicenter study amongst UK pediatric surgical oncology centers. Females |
