Granulosa cell tumour natural history

Prognosis
Ovarian cancer is rarely diagnosed in its early stages. It is usually quite advanced by the time diagnosis is made
 * About 3 out of 4 women with ovarian cancer survive 1 year after diagnosis.
 * Nearly half of women live longer than 5 years after diagnosis.
 * If diagnosis is made early in the disease and treatment is received before the cancer spreads outside the ovary, the 5-year survival rate is very high

Possible complications

 * Spread of the cancer to other organs
 * Loss of organ function
 * Fluid in the abdomen (ascites)
 * Blockage of the intestines
