Rak jajnika powoduje najwięcej zgonów związanych z nowotworami ginekologicznymi. Jest on najczęściej rozpoznawany w zaawansowanym stadium ze względu na brak wczesnych swoistych objawów i swoistych markerów. Wzrost liczby płytek krwi u chorych z rakiem jajnika to niekorzystny czynnik prognostyczny związany z krótszym czasem przeżycia i krótszym czasem wolnym od choroby. Trombocytoza obserwowana w raku jajnika jest możliwym parametrem diagnostyczno-prognostycznym.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal of gynaecological malignancies. The majority of women are diagnosed in advanced stage due to non-specific symptoms of the disease and the lack of specific risk and prognostic markers. The increase of thrombocytes count in ovarian cancer patients is considered as unfavourable prognostic factor, connected with shorter overall and disease-free survival. It is possible that paraneoplastic thrombocytosis could be a new marker, useful in ovarian cancer diagnosis and prediction of patients' prognosis.
In this paper the usefulness of Computed Tomography (CT) in earlier diagnosis of cancers is presented. Computed Tomography can be utilized as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of malignant tumors, monitoring of therapy and during follow-up or remission phase. The images provided by CT scans depict precise location of the tumor damaged tissues and/or organs. In investigations results of 29 patients examinations were analysed. All patients were diagnosed with malignancy tumors and hospitalised in Klinika Chorób Wewnętrznych i Reumatologii (The Clinic of Internal Medicine and Rheumatology) in Katowice during 2003 - 2006. Earlier examination by using CT allows to diagnose some type of cancers. Such examination is unfortunately expensive. For patients with paraneoplastic syndromes CT examination is especially recommended. For these type of patients effectiveness of proposed in this paper method is more than 80%. These results are very promising.
