Overview

Ovarian cancer is the 7th most common type of cancer in women worldwide and the 8th most common type of cancer in the United States. Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy and the most common cause of gynecologic cancer death in the United States. Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, with an incidence of 9.4 per 100,000 women and a mortality rate of 5.1 per 100,000. In developing countries, it is the third most common gynecologic malignancy (cervical cancer is the most common), with an incidence of 5.0 per 100,000 and a mortality rate of 3.1 per 100,000. The age-adjusted prevalence of ovarian cancer in the United States is 71.3 per 100,000 in 2011. The estimated number of new cases of ovarian cancer is approximately 22,000.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

Incidence

Age

  • Older women are at highest risk. More than half of the deaths from ovarian cancer occur in women between 55 and 74 years of age.
