Treatment of ovarian cancer in Germany

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, the worldwide incidence of ovarian cancer varies from 2 to 40 cases per 100,000 women, and it is gradually increasing, particularly in developed countries. Nearly 65% of patients seek gynecological advice when the oncological process is at advanced stage III-IV.

Treatment of ovarian cancer in Germany implies that the diagnosis is conducted at a multidisciplinary oncological consultation, involving gynecologists, oncologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, radiologists and other narrow-profile specialists. During the consultation, individual data of ovarian cancer research are evaluated, enabling doctors to select the most effective therapy for each patient.
