Abstract

Ovarian cancer is the main reason of death
among gynecological cancers. There is no routine test for
early diagnosis of ovarian cancer and early detection of this
cancer is difficult because of lack of simptomatology. Overall
survival rate among patients with ovarian cancer is almost
50 % and it represents a significant increase of survival in the
last decade due the introduction of paclitaxel in the treatment
of advanced stages of ovarian carcinoma.

Keywords
