Abstract :
Ovarian cancer is the fifth cancer in terms of in-cidence and the fourth in terms of mortality among women in Poland and constitutes 4.6% of all cancers. Since the vast majority of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced clinical stage, the intensive therapy may cause numerous side effects which significantly affects the pa-tients’ quality of life.
