Five-Year Ovarian Cancer Survival Rate Pegged at 44%.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The survival rate for epithelial ovarian cancer has risen dramatically over the past decade, and 5-year survival may now be about 44%, according to a Swedish population study.
The study found that 2-year survival for ovarian cancer increased an average of 1.9% per year from 1990 to 1998, to 68%, Dr. Thomas Hogberg said at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
Dr. Hogberg and his associates looked at all epithelial ovarian cancer cases diagnosed in Sweden since 1960 and followed up on patients' survival or death using a population registry. Five-year survival was found to have risen from 39% for those patients diagnosed in 1990 to 44% for those patients diagnosed in 1995.
