Trends in incidence, treatment and survival of borderline ovarian tumors in the Netherlands: a nationwide analysis.

Conclusions: The incidence of BOTs increased over time from 1993 until 2010 but declined since 2011. This decline may be partly due to changes in the classification of gynecological tumors, as serous BOTs are now more often diagnosed as low grade serous ovarian cancers. Survival is high and has improved since 1993. The risk of a subsequent invasive ovarian carcinoma seems low. PMID: 31135241 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
