Secondary malignancies in long-term ovarian cancer survivors: results of the 'Carolin meets HANNA' study.

Objective: To evaluate the rate of secondary malignancies in long-term survivors with ovarian cancer.

Methods: Long-term survivors with ovarian cancer (survival ≥8 years after initial diagnosis) with multiple malignancies were identified within the Tumorbank Ovarian Cancer and our study 'Carolin meets HANNA - Holistic Analyses of Long-term Survivors with Ovarian Cancer'.

Results: Of a total of 225 long-term survivors with ovarian cancer, 36 patients (16%) had at least one more cancer diagnosis before, concomitant with, or after, ovarian cancer.
