Ovarian Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 107))

Abstract

Ovarian carcinoma continues to be the most common cause of death from gynecologic malignancy in the United States. This high fatality rate can be attributed to a lack of early, effective screening strategies and lack of specific symptoms associated with early stage disease. Thus, approximately 70% of women with ovarian cancer present with advanced stage disease. Although advances in surgical therapy and chemotherapy have improved progression free survival, the long-term 5-year survival rate rarely exceeds 30% for patients diagnosed with this disease (1).
