The subject of the Sixth Symposium on Clinical Oncology of the
Royal College of Radiologists held in February 1984 was ovarian
cancer. This publication presents the collected papers delivered at
that meeting, but excludes much useful discussion which also took
place. The annual clinical oncology symposia have been designed to
re- view topics of current interest in cancer therapy from a
multidis- ciplinary point if view. It was gratifying to the
organisers and all who took part that the aims were so well met by
both the contrib- utors and discussants. We believe that this can
only be to the ad- vantage of future research and our present and
future patients. Ovarian cancer is a common gynaecological cancer
which freqently presents late. Its clinical management is
bedevilled by the variable referral routes through which patients
present for treatment. Thus, many are first seen by general
abdominal sur- geons who may not be expert in their treatment,
rather than gynaecologists or gynaecological oncologists. There are
many in- teresting features about it which have been discussed by
the var- ious speakers. Early spread within the abdomen is common,
spread outside the abdomen less common. There is a variety of
histopathological types, each with distinct aetiological, prognos-
VI Preface tic and therapeutic assocations. In contrast to most
cancers, sur- gical debulking of tumour is considered valuable even
when there is no possibility of removing all tumour by the knife.
