Abstract

Introduction: Ovarian cancer has a high mortality only preceded by breast cancer and, excluding these cancers, is the leading cause of death due to gynecological cancer, although its frequency is lower than that of cancers of the uterus. Objective: To determine the survival curves according to the stage of cancer and the relapse of the disease.

Material and method: An observational, retrospective study of patients with ovarian cancer treated at the Hospital "Ramón González Coro" was carried out. The universe consisted of 98 patients who received medical care between 2001 and 2013. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression.

Results: Women with stage III or IV disease had an average survival of 36 months, with a minimum and maximum of 6 and 48 months, respectively. The greatest survival was obtained for those in which there was no relapse in which the survival was 3.4 times longer than in the others. Overall comparisons using the Breslow test (Wilcoxon generalized) showed that survival differences were highly significant (p <0.001) in relapse.

Conclusion: There was no significant association between treatments, types of cancer and survival. Cancer stages and relapse of the disease were the only variables that were significantly associated with post-treatment survival.
