can ovarian cancer be cured

Treatment for ovarian cancer may remove the cancer completely or partially.

Treatments for ovarian and endometrial cancer can cure or control the disease. Even if there is no cancer seen after treatment, you still need to watch out for cancer recurrence; Because recurrence, which is the return of cancer, can be quite common.

Other times, ovarian cancer never goes away completely and you may receive repeated treatments to control the disease (chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, etc.).

One of the most prominent factors in determining a patient’s risk of recurrence is the stage of the cancer at diagnosis:

  • Patients diagnosed in stage 1 have a 10 percent chance of recurrence.
  • Patients diagnosed in stage 2 have a 30 percent chance of recurrence.
  • Patients diagnosed in stage 3 have a 70 to 90 percent chance of recurrence.
  • Patients diagnosed in stage 4 have a 90 to 95 percent chance of recurrence.
