Benign, Borderline and Malignant Ovarian Tumors in Pregnant Women: Treatment Results and Childbirth Outcomes
The study included 294 pregnant women with benign, borderline, and malignant ovarian tumors. Before surgery, all patients underwent ultrasound examination, fine-needle biopsy of ovaries, and blood test (CA-125, sFas, VEGF, interleukin-6). Obtained results were compared with morphological studies. Organ-preserving and radical surgery and, if necessary, chemotherapy were performed. The study allowed obtaining the method for differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors by ultrasound signs. Significant change in serum markers occured only in patients with malignant ovarian tumors. The study made it possible to determine rational medical tactics for pregnant women with ovarian tumors.
