Cancer of the ovaries (OC) has frequently been reported in HNPCC. Colorectal cancer associated with HNPCC has a better survival chance compared to sporadic colorectal cancer. It is yet unknown whether patients with OC from HNPCC families (OC-HNPCC) also have a better survival. Therefore, the ...
Prevalence & Survival Rate Ovarian cancer is the fifth according to the frequency of deaths caused by cancer in women, the leading cause of deaths caused by malignant gynecologic tumors, and the second according to the frequency of tumors in gynecology. Every year at least 225 thousand cases of...
While cancer-specific survival rate was in favor of patients who undergo early RC for high-risk NMIBC, significant proportion of patients still would be overtreated. In addition, the potential morbidity and mortality of the RC must be taken into consideration. Therefore the careful follow-u...
ovarian cancer, a disease characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in the ovaries, the internal reproductive organs that produce the ova, or egg cells, in women. Most ovarian cancers begin in the outer layer of the ovaries, although some cancers develop from the connective tissue that hold...
Some 14,240 women in the U.S. die each year from ovarian cancer. The five-year survival rate is greater than 75% if a diagnosis of cancer occurs before it has spread to other organs. However, the five-year survival rate drops to 20% when cancer has spread to the upper abdomen. ...
Ovarian cancer is the highest mortality rate of gynecologic cancer disease, one of the most seriously life-threatening malignant cancers in female. Because of the ovaries deep in the pelvis, the early non-specific symptoms,making diagnosis difficult, most patients are diagnosed late already, and cau...
Patients whose cancers originated in the genital tract had the lowest mean death rate. Although analyses of survival confirm the observation that cancer metastatic to the ovaries has a poor overall prognosis, 21 of the 357 patients were still living at 10 years and 7 of these patients survived ...
The majority of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed at advanced stage when tumors have metastasized. Substantial efforts have been undertaken to develop early detection tests in order to improve the prognosis and survival rate of ovarian cancer. However, these efforts are hindered by our limited ...
The five-year survival rate of ovarian cancer is below 40%, making it one of the deadliest gynecological cancers [2]. Its lethality is largely due to its aggressive characteristics and cannot be diagnosed early [3]. Therefore, most patients develop highly metastatic, infiltrative diseases at an...
If any of these tests suggest cancer, abiopsyis done to confirm the diagnosis. When caught early, prostate cancer is treatable. A large majority of prostate cancers are diagnosed either before they have spread or when they have spread only locally. Survival rates in these cases are very high...
