Overview

Objective:
A review of histopathological prognostic factors, serum markers and selected molecularbiological factors in ovarian cancer.Design: Review.Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical Faculty Hradec Králové, CharlesUniversity, Prague; Department of Biological and Medical sciences, Pharmaceutical Faculty, HradecKrálové, Charles University, Prague; Department of Clinical Oncology, Medical Faculty HradecKrálové, Charles University, Prague; Bristol-Myers Squibb, Department of Oncology, Prague.Method: Discussion about current evidence from literature.Conclusion: Except clinical prognostic factors the wide spectrum behaviour of epithelial ovariancancers is reflected by some histopathological prognostic factors, serum markers and some molecularbiological factors. The most important are grade and tumor ploidy, the level of CA 125 andits changes during the treatment, mutations of p53, BRCA 1 and 2.

Key words:
