What are the chances of surviving ovarian cancer ?

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women, the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies and the second most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy [1]. It is idiopathic, meaning that the exact cause is unknown. The disease is more common in industrialized nations, with the exception of Japan. In the United States, females have a 1.4 % to 2.5 % (1 out of 40-60 women) lifelong chance of developing ovarian cancer.

Older women are at highest risk. More than half of the deaths from ovarian cancer occur in women between 55 and 74 years of age and approximately one quarter of ovarian cancer deaths occur in women between 35 and 54 years of age.

The risk for developing ovarian cancer appears to be affected by several factors. The more children a woman has, the lower her risk of ovarian cancer. Early age at first pregnancy, older ages of final pregnancy, and the use of some oral contraceptive pills have also been shown to have a protective effect. Ovarian cancer is reduced in women after tubal ligation. Source(s): www.wikipedia.org

None...has a 90 percent death rate.sorry..pack your bags.
Sweetie, if it's caught in time and you start treatment right away you have every chance. The treatment (which you'll know about) is long and painful, you'll be very sick and 90% chance that your hair will fall out. You'll need lots of support and understanding, so make sure everyone knows what to expect.
If you have ovarian cancer and began treatment,your chances are likely to succeed but there is a chance of reoccurance .However,If you do not know you have ovarian cancer( which is a silent form of cancer for women) and it is in the late stages;Your chances may not be successful to you.Once the cancer hits your liver,there is no chance to save you.
