In what Setting Should Women with Ovarian Cancer Receive Care

In Canada, ovarian cancer affects 2600 women and 1750 women die annually from this dis‐ ease.[1] The case fatality rate for ovarian cancer is quite high at 0.67 because women usually present with wide-spread disease. Symptoms of ovarian cancer are non-specific, and there is no effective screening test which identifies ovarian cancer early, when the cure rate is high‐ est.[2] When patients present with advanced disease, long term survival is elusive and the goals of care focus on increasing duration of survival and improving quality of life by man‐ aging symptoms of disease.
