Ovarian tumors in women after hysterectomy for benign diseases

Abstract

Varian cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive systemand ranks first as the cause of women’s mortality from oncogynecological pathology. Over thepast 10 years, the increase in the incidence of ovarian cancer was 11.5% and remains high todaywithout a clear downward trend. According to the United Kingdom Collaborative Study, for one woman with a confirmed diagnosisof ovarian cancer, ten women underwent unnecessary surgical interventions and manipulationsbased on the results of imaging methods.Hysterectomy without accompanying ovariectomy has traditionally been considered one of theways to protect against ovarian cancer. But the latest data, which includes a large numberof contemporary studies of women recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, did not find asimilar correlation. These findings may be related to changes in surgical practice, the use ofmenopausal hormone therapy, or perhaps improved reporting of oophorectomy.The risk of detecting epithelial ovarian cancer after hysterectomy has been repeatedly studied,but summarizing the data of most studies, no statistically reliable data were found that wouldindicate an increase in the risk of developing a malignant disease after this surgical intervention.However, the question needs further study in terms of the rapid development of modern oncology.
