Overview
Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[1]
Prognosis
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery and treatment options). The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:[1]
- The type of cancer
- The size of the tumor
- The stage of cancer (whether it affects part of the ovary, involves the whole ovary, or has spread to other places in the body)
- The way the cancer cells look under a microscope
- The patient’s general health
- Ovarian germ cell tumors are usually cured if found and treated early
