[Simultaneous prophylactic surgery for colon cancer in women. Viewpoint of the gynecologist].

A 5-year survival of patients with Stage III colon cancer with prophylactic panhysterectomy in anamnesis was 83.3%, significantly higher than that of patients with Stage III colon cancer without panhysterectomy (69.3%) and than in colon cancer patients with metachronous ovarian metastases (42%).

[Oncogynecological aspects of adnexal masses].

Unlabelled: Adnexal masses are frequently found in both symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The frequency of them is 7,8% in reproductive aged women and 2,5-18% in postmenopausal patients.

Aim: to investigate clinical significance of the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) and to compare it with histological findings in patients with adnexal masses.

[Female genital tract polyneoplasia: primary multiple neoplasms or metastases?].

The analysis of 49 cases of synchronous and metachronous malignant mucinous tumors of the colon (rectum) and ovaries in the patients treated in 1990 to 2004 again has confirmed the data that metastatic ovarian cancer occurs from a primary focus in the colorectal region. Immunohistochemical studies (using cytokeratin 7 and cytokeratin 20) may be used in the differential diagnosis of ovarian mucinous ovarian carcinoma from metastatic colonic mucinous tumors.
