Abstract

Several studies have reported an increased risk of second primary cancers subsequent to invasive epithelial ovarian cancer. However, there is no adequate data regarding such risk in borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of subsequent second primary cancers among women with BOTs. BOT patients treated in our center between December 1985 and April 2009 were retrospectively screened for developing second primary cancer during follow-up period. There were 96 women diagnosed with BOT. Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 47 ± 14.3, ranging from 19 to 79. Eighty-eight (91.6%) patients had stage I disease, two patients (2.1%) had stage II and six (6.2%) had stage III. Twenty-five (26.0%) patients received platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Mean follow-up time was 96.5 ± 442 months (range: 9-280 months). There were ten (10.4%) recurrences. Only one patient developed second primary cancer. Second primary cancer observed in this case was basal cell carsinoma of the eyelid, which was diagnosed 2 years after primary disease. There were no patients with common women's cancers such as breast and colorectal cancers. These findings do not suggest increased risk of subsequent cancers in patients wit...Continue Reading
