Ovarian Cancer is Often Not Detected

Ovarian cancer or ovarian cancer is one of the most vicious cancer that strikes women. In fact, experts say that the mortality of ovarian cancer patients is very high, reaching 69 percent.

Dr. Sven MAHNER, Associate Professor for Gynecologic Oncology at the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Germany, said that one of the reasons why so deadly ovarian cancer patients is much too late to get treatment. This is difficult because early detection of ovarian cancer. If one would expect tumors were detected in the ovaries, you should immediately do the operation. Dr. Sven explains that many studies that prove that people with ovarian cancer have a life expectancy higher if treatment is done early.

In stage I, the life expectancy of patients within the next 5 years up to 98 percent. This is different from when diiidap ovarian cancer patients has grown and reached stage 4. Life expectancy also fell dramatically to the remaining 20 percent.

"This is due to the spread of cancer cells, no longer only in the ovary (ovarian). If you still have stage I cancer cells only in the ovaries and can be treated by removal of the ovaries. In stage II usually cancer cells have spread to the pelvis, stage III to abdominal and stage IV was out of the abdomen. Obviously, the treatment is more difficult, "he said.
