If you are living withovarian cancer，你可能想知道你的预后。在了解您的预后可能有用的同时，重要的是要知道它只是一般指导方针。您的个人前景将取决于许多因素，例如您的年龄和整体健康。

Read on to learn more about the 5-year survival rates for different ovarian cancer stages and what the numbers mean.

The 5-year relative survival rate for all types of ovarian cancer is 49.1 percent 。

卵巢癌的人们将有三种类型的肿瘤中的一种。您所拥有的肿瘤类型将影响您的前景。

  • Epithelial.These tumors develop in the layer of tissue on the outside of the ovaries.
  • Stromal.These tumors grow in hormone-producing cells.
  • Germ cell.These tumors develop in egg-producing cells.

About90.percentof ovarian cancers involve epithelial tumors. Stromal tumors represent about5 percentof ovarian tumors, while germ cell tumors are significantly rarer.

Early detection generally results in a better outlook. When diagnosed and treated in stage 1, the 5-year relative survival rate is 94 percent 。只有约20％的卵巢癌被诊断为第1阶段。

在本文中，我们还将涵盖输卵管癌的生存率。医生often treat this以与卵巢癌的方式相同。

Both the stage and the type of ovarian cancer factor into your individual 外表 。有多种方法医生用来定义癌症阶段。

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry 国家癌症研究所（NCI）计划是美国癌症生存的权威来源。它在该国内的群体中为不同类型的癌症收集综合信息。

The SEER registry can help you better understand the rate of survival for your stage of ovarian cancer for each year after diagnosis.

SEER注册表使用 简化的方法 to staging. It roughly correlates with other staging systems as follows:

  • 本地化。Cancer is limited to the place where it started, with no sign that it has spread. This correlates roughly with stage 1 disease.
  • Regional.Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, tissues, or organs. This encompasses stage 2 and 3 disease.
  • Distant.Cancer has spread to distant parts of the body. This indicates stage 4 disease.

Since fewer women have stage 1 or “localized” ovarian cancer, the overall prognosis for regional or distant disease can be broken down by year since diagnosis.

For example, factoring in all tumor types, for women with distant spread (or stage 4 disease) of ovarian cancer, the percentage of women in the U.S. population surviving 1 year is over 69%.

One of the first things you’ll want to know is the stage of your ovarian cancer. Staging is a way of describing how far the cancer has spread and can indicate how aggressive your cancer is. Knowing the stage helps your cancer care team formulate a treatment plan and gives you some idea of what to expect.

As well as the above SEER stages, doctors can determine ovarian cancer stages using the FIGO（国际妇科和产科联合会）分期系统 。

This system defines ovarian cancer in one of four stages and takes into account:

  • the size of the tumor
  • how deeply the tumor has invaded tissues in and around the ovaries
  • the cancer’s spread to distant areas of the body (metastasis)

医生can more accurately determine the size of the primary tumor through surgery. Accurate staging is important in helping you and your cancer care team understand the chances that your cancer treatment will be curative.

阶段1

在 阶段1 , the cancer has not spread beyond the ovaries, according to the American Cancer Society.

第1A阶段意味着癌症仅在一个卵巢中。在第1B阶段，癌症在卵巢中。

阶段1C means that one or both ovaries contain cancer cells, and one of the following situations is also found:

  • The outer capsule broke during surgery.
  • The capsule burst before surgery.
  • 在卵巢外面有癌细胞。
  • 癌细胞被发现在腹部的流体洗涤中。

2

在 2 ovarian cancer, the cancer is in one or both ovaries and has spread to elsewhere within the pelvis.

2A means it has gone from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes, the uterus, or to both.

第2B阶段表明癌症已迁移到附近的器官，如膀胱，乙状结肠或直肠。

第3阶段

在 第3阶段 卵巢癌，癌症在一个或两个卵巢中发现，以及在腹部的衬里中，或者它已经蔓延到腹部淋巴结。

在第3A阶段，癌症在其他盆腔器官和腹腔内的淋巴结（腹腔淋巴结）或腹部衬里中发现。

第3B阶段是癌症在骨盆内蔓延到附近的器官。癌细胞可以在脾脏或肝脏的外侧或淋巴结中找到。

第3C阶段意味着在脾脏或肝脏外发现癌细胞的较大沉积，或者它已经扩散到淋巴结。

第4阶段

第4阶段 is the most advanced stage of ovarian cancer. It means the cancer has spread to distant areas or organs in your body.

在stage 4A, cancer cells are present in the fluid around the lungs.

第4阶段B means that it has reached the inside of the spleen or liver, distant lymph nodes, lungs, and bones.

医生base ovarian cancer survival statistics on the stage in which ovarian cancer was first diagnosed.

它们是估计，并没有考虑可能改善您的前景的因素，例如您的年龄，整体健康，以及您的癌症如何应对治疗的程度。

因为这些数据与人diagnosed with ovarian cancer at least 5 years previously, treatments have improved since then, so their outlook may be better today.

一般趋势一直在较少的新案例数量，关于 1到2％ 每年20世纪80年代和2017年。结果分析也表现出更好的生存率 - 2009年至2018年期间每年增加1％至2％。

Relative 5-year survival rate estimates the percentage of people with cancer who will survive 5 years after diagnosis, in relation to the general populace.

Researchers calculate the number by dividing the percentage of patients with cancer who survive the period, by the percentage of the general population of the same sex and age who are also alive at the end of the 5 years.

Honest talks with your healthcare professionals will help you make informed decisions about your treatment for ovarian cancer.

These are some of the questions to ask your cancer care team:

  • What type of ovarian cancer is it, and has it spread?
  • 将任何decidin前测试是必要的吗g on treatment?
  • 您如何推荐作为我的治疗选择？
  • What is the goal of the treatment, and how long will it last?
  • If there are treatment side effects, what can be done to reduce them?
  • What type of follow-up will be needed after treatment?
  • What should I watch for to see if the cancer has returned after treatment?

Keep in mind that ovarian cancer survival rates are estimates and do not take into account other factors that may affect your personal outlook.

当首次被诊断时，您的癌症护理团队可以根据卵巢癌的阶段和类型确定您最有效的治疗选择。
