Is it true that ovarian cancer rarely survives past 10 years?

The statement that ovarian cancer rarely lives beyond ten years is inaccurate and not true. Ovarian cancer is a gynecological malignant neoplastic disease, which has shown a rising trend year by year in China. The mortality rate caused by ovarian cancer is higher among the malignant neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive tract, but it doesn’t mean that ovarian cancer patients seldom appear to live more than 10 years. The prognosis of ovarian cancer patients is closely related to the stage of the tumor, the degree of differentiation of the tumor, the patient’s age, physical condition, etc. The five-year survival rate of stage I ovarian cancer is up to 90%, that of stage II is about 80%, and that of stage III or IV is 30~40%. The earlier the stage, the better the prognosis obtained by ovarian cancer patients, and the early stage patients have a higher chance to live for 10 years.
