How long can you live if your ovarian cancer has spread?

The survival time of ovarian cancer diffusion varies greatly among individuals, generally ranging from three months to five years. It depends on the disease and is also related to the degree of ovarian cancer spread and whether the patient is actively treated or not. If patients with ovarian cancer spread actively undergo surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the five-year survival rate is relatively high. Ovarian cancer spreads firstly by adjacent tissues, then by blood and through lymphatic fluid. The main clinical symptoms of ovarian cancer are pain in the abdomen and abdominal masses, while some women may not have any symptoms and may be found by chance through physical examination. The main treatment is surgery in early stage, and surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in middle and late stage. Patients with ovarian cancer need to pay attention to more rest, appropriate exercise, strengthen exercise, enhance nutritional intake, and also need to have regular review.
