Abstract:

It is now extremely difficult to diagnose ovarian cancer, which is due to the latent course of the disease and the absence of its specific signs. Currently, echography occupies the main place in the diagnosis of primary ovarian tumors due to the wide availability, simplicity, non-invasiveness, and information value of the method.

OBJECTIVE

To enhance the efficiency of primary differential, clarifying diagnosis of malignant ovarian tumors, to specify and systematize the ultrasound semiotics of primary malignant ovarian epithelial tumors.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

Examination was made in 630 women with malignant ovarian tumors, who underwent 16.631 ultrasound examinations, of whom 476 patients with ovarian cancer were aged 15 to 79 years.

RESULTS

A gray scale ultrasound algorithm was elaborated for patients with primary malignant ovarian tumors, which was used to identify four variants of echosemiotics in this category of tumors and the types of ultrasound images. The role of a complex ultrasound diagnosis was established in patients with malignant ovarian epithelial tumors, including that with new echographic technologies (Doppler sonography, dopplerometry, and 3D Doppler), to determine the nature of ovarian neoplastic changes.

CONCLUSION

The semiotics of local signs, which is common to ovarian tumors, has been developed and systematized.
