Overview

Epithelial ovarian cancer causes about 1700 deaths in the UK each year. Only 10-15% of cases are diagnosed early, when there is a good chance of a cure. Treatment for early-stage disease involves surgery, often followed by chemotherapy. Large studies show that chemotherapy after surgery improves survival, but more research is needed to determine the best use of chemotherapy for different groups of patients.
