Canadian Cancer Statistics 2011



Canada - Ovary - incidence  2,600
Canada - Ovary - deaths      1,750
est. 5 yr survival rate ovarian cancer (all stages) 42%
est. 5 yr survival rate breast cancer 88%

* see table 2.2 for provincial stats

* see table 6 for lifetime probability of developing and dying from
ovarian cancer (1 in 69 ;  1 in 92)


(important note regarding stats - to put this in perspective,  overall incident rates of ovarian cancer is relatively low (2,600 est. women annually/national basis)  as a comparison to other cancers, however, as we know there still is no early detection test)
