摘要：
Ovarian cancer is most often diagnosed at an advanced disease stage with reduced or poor prognosis. This fatal course of disease might be influenced by preventive and screening measures. Characterization and identification of populations especially at risk, promotion of already known preventive strategies, improvement of diagnostic tools, and evaluation of new compounds and potential screening instruments are some aspects for discussion. Hormonal contraception, other endocrine therapies and chemopreventive agents, and surgical interventions are critically reviewed. Factors increasing the nonhereditary risk for ovarian cancer are considered. Today, intervention and avoidance strategies are available to influence the ovarian cancer risk; these should be combined with appropriate diagnostic procedures. Secondary and tertiary prevention in ovarian cancer is discussed. © 2008 Springer Medizin Verlag.
