Ovarian cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers in women. According to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data ovarian tumors represent about 27% of all female genital cancers and account for 52% of deaths caused by female genital cancers. Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. It ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system1. A woman’s risk of having an ovarian cancer at birth is 1-1.5% and that of dying from it is 0.5%.2.
