Surface epithelial tumors of ovary - an analysis in a tertiary referral hospital
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers in females. About 80% of these are benign, and they occur mostly in young women between 20 and 45 years. Borderline tumors occur at slightly older ages while incidence of malignant tumors increases with a...
