Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the surgical treatment of ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer.
METHODSThe clinical data of 62 cases suffering from ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer, collected from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 2005, were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSThe median survival time of 62 colorectal cancer patients with ovarian metastasis was 23 months. The median survival time of 19 patients with simple ovary metastasis was 31 months, while that of 43 patients with ovary and other organ metastasis was 21 months. The median survival time of 28 patients (45.2%) treated with radical resection was 31 months, while that of 34 patients (52.8%) treated with palliative resection was 20 months, the difference between two groups was significant. Fifty-one patients (82.3%) were treated with double-sided ovarian resection, and 42 of them (17.7%) received hysterectomies at the same time. Eleven patients received one-sided ovarian resection, and 8 of them were resected the metastatic ovaries on the other side in 3 to 10 months.
CONCLUSIONSThe patients with ovarian metastases from colorectal cancer need double-sided ovarian resection, and radical resection is able to prolong the survival time.
