Tóm tắt

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignant tumors in women in China, represents the third most common cancer after cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, and the first leading cause of death from gynaecological cancers. Due to the lack of effective screening strategies and the absence of symptoms in early-stage of disease, over 70% of patients present at an advanced stage. Despite the advances in surgical techniques and conventional chemotherapy, the prognosis of ovarian cancer has not been improved significantly, and indeed the long-term survival for patients with advanced disease does not exceed 20%. The aetiology of ovarian cancer remains poorly understood. In China, the major focus of research is to clarify the mechanism underlying ovarian cancer, develop more effective life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic measures, and undertake more population-based studies. This article summarizes current research, diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer in China.
