Ovarian Cancer

overall 5-year survival rates
increased from 37% in 1974 to greater than 50% currently.

Up to 95% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will survive longer than 5 years if their cancers are treated before they have spread beyond the ovaries. Unfortunately, there are no screening tests for ovarian cancer that are the equivalent to mammography for early detection of breast cancer. Therefore, only about 25% of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at such early stages.
Routine exams called bimanual pelvic examinations are a reasonable precaution, although they are not perfect screening methods due to their low sensitivity. This exam can be performed two ways. In the more common method, the doctor inserts two fingers into the vagina while palpating the abdomen with the other hand.
