Ovarian cancer most commonly strikes women in which one of
the following age groups?
Answer Posted / udaya bhanu
While ovarian carcinoma is rare in the reproductive age
group, these younger patients are known to fare better than
the older patients.
Epithelial ovarian cancer patients age 30 years or younger
have a more favorable prognosis because of a higher rate of
early stage, low grade tumors.
Patients aged 31-40 years also show a more favorable disease
profile and clinical outcome, although to a lesser extent,
than the average ovarian cancer population.
