I was recently diagnosted with ovarian
cancer. The result of the post-operatory
pathological analysis detrmined that my
ovaries had "serous adenocarcinoma
moderately differentiated with surface
involvment". My oncologist told me that
it would be stage I grade 2,
but...The biopsy of omentum ( not removed)
shows ,i quote from the report:
" atypical focus, suspicious for
ademnocarcinoma [ -1 to -8 sections]. The
cut of surfaces show no identificable
lesions.
Microscopic: the omentum sections show a
single focus of atypical cells in 3-1, but
further such foci are not identified after
multiple additional sections."
based on that, my oncologist incline to
consider my cancer as stage iii, involving
not only chemo but an omentum surgery
after as 3 chemo sessions.
Previousely other experienced
gyno-oncologist told that I do not need
any further surgery.
Can somebody help me with the meaning of
the pathological result of the omentum
biopsy?
