Abstract

A 30-year review of primary ovarian sarcomas seen at The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and a review of the literature are presented. Stage at presentation and resectability were the most significant prognostic indicators. Most recurrences appeared outside the pelvis, indicating a need for systemic chemotherapy. With aggressive treatment, patients with early stage disease can have long term survival. A plea is made for multicenter protocols to develop effective programs of treatment.
