Fertility and tumor recurrence rate after conservative laparoscopic management of young women with early-stage borderline ovarian tumors

Conservative surgery in ovarian borderline tumours: A meta-analysis with emphasis on recurrence risk

“…Considering the studies that included only sBOT patients and those studies where recurrence data were provided according to histological subtypes, a total of 433 sBOT patients, enclosing 10 studies [3,[11][12][13][14][15][21][22][23][24], were analysed. The recurrence rate for C, USO and USO + CC were respectively 43.2% (95% CI = 0.349-0.519), 32.1% (95% CI = 0.251-0.400) and 15.3% (95% CI = 0.064-0.320).…”

“…Considering the studies that included only mBOT patients and those studies where recurrence data were provided according to histological subtypes, a total of 394 mBOT patients, enclosing six studies [16,[21][22][23][24][25], were analysed. In one of these studies the type of ovarian surgery was not shown to have impact on outcome (p = 0.163) [16].…”

Retropective analysis of 25 cases with borderline ovarian tumors

“…In early stage cases, it is reliable and efficient to perform a laparoscopic procedure guided by an experienced laparoscopist but cyst rupture risk should be taken into consideration (8,9) . While it is possible to protect uterus and contra lateral ovary in premenopausal cases where fertility is desired (10) , TAH-BSO is the most suitable choice in postmenopausal patients.…”

Successful extracorporeal mature oocyte harvesting after laparoscopic oophorectomy following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for the purpose of fertility preservation in a patient with borderline ovarian tumor

“…Borderline ovarian tumors generally have an excellent prognosis and can be treated conservatively in women who wish to preserve their fertility or are pregnant at the time of diagnosis [1].…”
