We breifly summarize the current knowledge, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for each diagnosis, but first of all,we accent supportive and paliative type of care (which in some cases co-incidents with oncological therapy). Our recomendation oftreating procedures is demonstrated in a way acceptable and understandable for physicians non-gynecologists. We do not discussacumulation of malignant fluids and problematics of pelvic pain, which are symptoms of other malignant and non-malignant diseases.
