CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS AND PROGNOSTIC FACTORS OF OVARIAN FIBROSARCOMA: THE RESULTS OF A MULTI-CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic factors of ovarian fibrosarcoma: the results of a multi-center retrospective study

Abstract Background Ovarian fibrosarcomas are very rare tumors, and therefore, few case studies have evaluated the prognostic factors of this disease.To our knowledge, this study represents the largest study to evaluate the clinical and pathologic factors associated with ovarian fibrosarcoma patients.Methods Thirty-one cases of ovarian fibrosarcoma
