Abstract		Ovarian malignoma is the most frequent cause of death among gynecologic neoplasms. Due to a lack of reliable methods, early detection of this insidious disease is difficult. The establishing of a a correct diagnosis requires the combination of a variety of methods of examination. An inquiry for following of malignoma patients has been compiled. Beside general information regarding the patient, diagnosis and treatment, it also includes the case history, data regarding clinical, ultrasonographic and preoperative examinations, surgery, histologic findings and follow-up after termination of treatment. A user-friendly computer program was developed for recording and processing of all available data collected during the diagnostic and treatment procedures. The aim of this uniform inquiry and computer program is a concurrent, radical and simplified collecting, processing and comparing of data in each center and between centers dealing with the treatment of ovarian malignoma.
