Abstract :
First of all in our research we made clinic-genealogical analysis of 21 girls who were operated on ovarian tumors. The clinic-genealogical investigation resulted in interesting data: in 14 out of 21 genealogies there were cases of ovarian cancer of mammary gland and uterus in relatives (a mother, a sister, a grandmother). Those 14 girls primordially had a high genetic risk to be taken ill with tumors of the reproductive sphere. Working out the problem of active diagnostics of ovarian tumors in girls, we made genealogical analysis of 520 probands - women diseased with ovarian cancer. Among their relatives 34 girls were chosen (the first stage of relationship) aged from 8 to 17 years who had never been examined by gynecologist before. They underwent the following examination: ultrasound diagnostics of the organs in minor pelvis and rectal-abdominal examination of necessity. This screening program allowed to find out for the first time ovarian cysts (1 teratoma, 2 cystomas) in 3 girls. While giving effective preventive help to children with the risk of malignant tumor neoplasm we consider the following measures are necessary to be taken:
