PURPOSE We performed this study to evaluate the clinical presentation as well as the proper surgical intervention for ovarian metastasis from gastric cancers and these tumors were identified during postoperative follow-up. This will help establish the optimal strategy for improving the survival of patients with this entity. MATERIALS AND METHODS 22 patients (3.2%) with ovarian metastasis were...
