AB Ovarian  cancer  remains  the  most  lethal  of  gynecologic  malignancies  in  developed  countries.  Initial  management  is  aimed  at  maximal  cytoreduction  by  surgery  either  before  or  after  chemotherapy.  Sequential  palliative  chemotherapy  has  enabled  women  to  live  with  recurrent  disease  for  years  before  suffering  and  dying  with  bowel  obstruction.  Despite  advances,  effective  screening  and  cure  remains  elusive  for  most  women.
