Ovarian Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study the investigators would like to explore the patient and tumour characteristics of long-term survivors of ovarian cancer (\>10 years). Indentifiying the characteristics of long-term survivors not only helps find prognostic factors for survival but may aid in generating hypotheses for novel therapeutic strategies.
Interventions
OTHERRetrospective, cross-sectional descriptive analysis
This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive analysis, and concerns the extraction of data from anonymised patient files. A database will be constructed and descriptive statistics will be used to summarise the data.

Inclusion criteria
To achieve a large enough study population of approximately 80 subjects, patients surviving \>10 years after treatment for stage IIIC/IV epithelial ovarian cancer in the past 25 years will be included from five hospitals. Patients were diagnosed between 1979 and 2006 and treated in the north of the Netherlands. A list of subjects fitting these inclusion criteria will be extracted from the National Cancer Registry (NKR).
