The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate drops to 22% for women with stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. [3]
A New York Times story this week about tennis legend Chris Evert’s battle—twice—with ovarian cancer painted a simple and powerful picture: Fearing for her own risk after her sister died of ...

[ 1 ] As with most ovarian tumours, due to the lack of early signs of disease these tumours can be large when discovered and have often metastasized , often by spreading ...
