Ovarian papillary serous tumors of low malignant potential (Serous borderline tumors): A long term follow-up study, including patients with microinvasion, lymph node metastasis, and transformation to invasive serous carcinoma

Abstract

The long term outcome of serous LMP tumors is extremely favorable. Exophytic ovarian surface tumor did not serve as a predictor for subsequent peritoneal implants. Conservative surgical management in young patients with localized disease is supported and the use of adjuvant therapy in the initial management of patients with advanced tumors is further questioned.
