Q: Omentum Biopsy
asked by: kaonar on January 28th, 2005

I was recently diagnosted with ovarian cancer. The result of the post-operatory pathological analysis detrmined that my ovaries had "serous adenocarcinoma moderately differentiated with surface involvment". My oncologist told me that it would be stage I grade 2,
but...The biopsy of omentum ( not removed) shows ,i quote from the report:
" atypical focus, suspicious for ademnocarcinoma [ -1 to -8 sections]. The cut of surfaces show no identificable lesions.
Microscopic: the omentum sections show a single focus of atypical cells in 3-1, but further such foci are not identified after multiple additional sections."
based on that, my oncologist incline to consider my cancer as stage iii, involving not only chemo but an omentum surgery after as 3 chemo sessions.
Previousely other experienced gyno-oncologist told that I do not need any further surgery.
Can somebody help me with the meaning of the pathological result of the omentum biopsy?
