Abstract
The number of women in the United States dying of ovarian cancer continues to rise, primarily because in most patients, the disease is already so advanced at diagnosis that there is little chance of cure. What can be done for patients at the various stages of this disease? Dr Nahhas provides a comprehensive look at the current status of screening, prevention, and management of epithelial forms of ovarian cancer.Keywords
