How rare is ovarian cancer?
Cyndee, Pennsylvania, USA: From the reading I have done on ovarian cancer, I’ve learned that ovarian cancer is the second most common and one of the most deadly of all gynecological cancers in the United States. One in every fifty-five women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in my country. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 23,400 new cases and 13,900 deaths in 2001.You can find a lot of information at the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition web site. http://www.ovarian.
