What is Distant Metastases in Ovarian Carcinoma about?

Distant metastases are unusual at presentation and during the course of ovarian carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence and prognostic factors of distant metastases consistent with stage IV disease in ovarian cancer patients. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 162 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma treated at our Unit between 1991 and 2000. Pertinent clinical information, pathologic data, treatment, and prognostic factors for survival following documentation of distant metastatic disease were collected. The significance of the association between metastatic status and various clinical variables was assessed using the standard chi-square test. Survival time was calculated from the time of diagnosis of ovarian cancer and from the time of diagnosis of the distant metastases. A logistic regression procedure was used to estimate the odds of metastatic status given the presence of certain clinical variables. A total of 67 metastatic sites were diagnosed in 50 patients. Thirteen patients (8%) had distant metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, 37 patients (22%) had distant metastases at the time of recurrent of progressive disease. Si
