Its poor prognosis and high mortality rates can be attributed to the absence of specific ...
Ovarian canceris one of the most common types of cancer in women –around 7,300 womenin the UK are diagnosed with it each year. The disease often isn’t recognised until it has already spread, and even after successful treatment, there is a high risk of the cancer returning. Only half ...
To better understand metformin’s potential role in increasing ovarian cancer survival, the researchers conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of all patients in British Columbia (BC), Canada, diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 30 years or older between January 1, 1997, and December 3...
Ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose because symptoms often do not occur until late in the disease. Symptoms do not occur until the tumor has grown large enough to apply pressure to other organs in the abdomen, or until the cancer has spread to remote organs. The symptoms are nonspecific,...
The survival rate for Ovarian Cancer patients in Northern Ireland is one of the lowest in Europe and death rates for the disease in the Province have increased by nearly 13 per cent over the last 20 years. These startling statistics were reported to the British Gynaecological Cancer Society (...
aOvarian cancer has one of the highest mortality rates of all gynecologic malignant tumors. More than 70% of patients are late-stage at diagnosis [1], and the 5-year survival rate is approximately 19~40% [2-3]. Locoregional recurrence and distant metastases are ominous events in patients wi...
cancer survival among blacks than whites, the racial difference in prostate cancer survival has decreased, Zheng noted. "For ovarian cancer, however, the survival rate declined in blacks but slightly increased in whites, leading to a wider racial gap in the survival of this deadly cancer," he ...
Background Survival rates for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are much poorer than other gynaecological cancers and greatly depend on stage at diagnosis. A recent publication showed that unlike some other developed countries, there has been no improvement in the five‐year survival rate for those...
Purpose: To compare the clinical characteristics and survival of Ashkenazi Jewish ovarian cancer patients with and without BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Methods: An unselected series of 118 Ashkenazi Jewish ovarian cancer patients were screened for the three common founder mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2....
. There are 6,000 new cases of ovarian cancer a year in the UK but the long-term survival rate is just 35-40 per cent as the disease is often diagnosed at a much later stage once symptoms such as bloating are noticeable. Early detection of the disease could improve survival rates....
