A representative inquiry has been conducted including the most important parameters from the medical files of 61 out-patients with ovarian carcinoma in III or IV stage in the province of Stara Zagora for the period 1997, 1998 and 1999. The prevailing majority are urban citizens /72.13%/, mainly aged over 60 /62.29%/. The highest is the number of patients who gave birth to 1 child /42.62%/, followed by those with 2 children /37.70%/. In 16.39% of women occupational harms were established. In 9.83% of the patients benign tumours were found, in 6.55% malignant as concomitant diseases. In most cases the treatment is surgery in combination with chemotherapy. Histological screening of ovarian tumours showed predominance of the serous carcinoma in the papilliferum--/40.98%/. A combined chemotherapy. including mostly cys-platinum, is used in the treatment of patients with tumour in the ovary in the Clinic of Oncological Diseases of Stara Zagora.
