Global scenario on ovarian cancer – Its dynamics, relative survival, treatment, and epidemiology

Abstract

For women around the world, ovarian cancer is the worst gynecological malignancy. Because of its asymptomatic existence, it is recorded to be the 18th most deadly disease worldwide. The late-stage diagnosis of ovarian cancer is moderately accredited. The relative survival for ovarian cancer is generally 45%. Due to its specificity, the vastness and scenario of the disease diverges across countries throughout the world. In the present study, the source data for centralizing and updating a revised worldwide scenario for ovarian carcinoma have been obtained from 96 papers published between 1984 and 2019.
