[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother died as a result of ovarian cancer. I have yearly pelvic ultrasounds. It's not a silver bullet, but it's the best option there is right now for early detection.[/quote]

Can ovarian cancer be survived with early intervention?[/quote]

Early detection of ovarian cancer is unlikely, unless it is an incidental finding.[/quote]

The actress in the Marvel movies who was also in how I met your mother, is an ovarian cancer survivor.  Yes, it can be survived, depending on a bunch of 
things.  [/quote]

My best friend is a survivor as well. It happens [/quote]

No one has said it cannot be survived. Of course it can. That is why the mortality rate is not 100%. What people are saying is that early detection doesn’t change much. Whether you die or not is already set in course. Breast cancer is often like this. You would think a mastectomy would change your risk of dying, right? In generally does not. If it is an aggressive cancer, it will come back whether you find it at stage 1 or not. And even removing your breast tissue does not really change that fact for many women.
