Each year, about 20,000 women in the United States get ovarian cancer. 

Among women in the United States, ovarian cancer is the ninth most

 common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death, after lung

and bronchus, breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. 

Ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female

 reproductive system, but it accounts for only about 3% of all cancers

 in women.† When ovarian cancer is found in its early stages, treatment

 works best.

In 2013 (the most recent year numbers are available)—

• 20,927 women in the United States were diagnosed with ovarian cancer.*†
• 14,276 women in the United States died from ovarian cancer.*†

*Incidence counts cover about 99% of the U.S. population; death counts

cover about 100% of the U.S. population. Use caution when comparing

 incidence and death counts.
