Ovarian Cancer

Researchers who analyzed data from 178 countries discovered that people from larger families are less likely to develop cancer than people from smaller families.

Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare cancer that accounts for about 1.3% of cancer cases newly diagnosed in the United States in 2018. This means that the symptoms associated with ovarian cancer are more likely to be caused by other serious diseases, much less than ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer, also called "silent killer", is one of the most dangerous cancers among women. Nearly 22,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year and more than 14,000 women die from ovarian cancer. Among women between 35 and 74 years old, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death and one in 74 women is estimated to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the lifetime There. According to the American Cancer Society, only 20 to 30% of women diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer are still alive after 5 years.

According to statistics, ovarian cancer is diagnosed in 2.5 million patients a year, nearly 60% of patients die. The average age of ovarian cancer is 55 to 64 years old. Only 8% of women suffering from this cancer belong to the age group of 20 to 34 years old. In mathematics, there are only 9,500 women in the world. No doubt, this is a rare case.

Among women between 35 and 74 years old, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death. A 75-year-old woman is estimated to develop ovarian cancer in her lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 22,280 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed this year and more than 14,240 women will die of ovarian cancer this year. When one person is diagnosed and treated at the earliest stage, 5-year survival rate exceeds 90%. About 20% of all cases were found early due to nonspecific symptoms of ovarian cancer and lack of early detection test. This means that they are in stage I or II. If you are in stage III or higher, the survival rate will be as high as 28%. Due to the nature of this disease, women diagnosed with ovarian cancer each have different characteristics and it is rare to show a general prognosis.
