Ovarian Cancer
Ranking fifth in cancer deaths among women according to the American Cancer Society, there are approximately 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer in the United States each year.
The Gynecologic Oncology Center treats more ovarian cancer patients than any other hospital in the region. It is well respected for its cutting edge treatments, expert care and caring team of physicians, specialists and nurses.
Obviously, ovarian cancer begins in one or both of the ovaries each woman has, one on each side of the uterus. Not only do ovaries produce eggs for reproduction, but they are also the primary source of a woman’s female hormones.
Ovarian cancer causes the usually normal ovarian cells to grow at an uncontrolled and abnormal rate, resulting in tumors in one or both ovaries.
In the case of ovarian cancer, early detection is critical. But since the disease can be difficult to detect, only 20% of ovarian cancers are discovered before they spread to other tissues and organs. As such, nearly 15,000 women die each year from ovarian cancer in the United States.
The Gynecologic Oncology Center treats all stages of ovarian cancer, combining the very best medical care available with leading edge clinical trials and holistic, patient-centered care.
However, new evidence has begun to show that ovarian cancer in its earliest stages may have symptoms. Understanding these signs can greatly improve the survival rate of this major killer.
