Prognosis refers to the likely course and outcome of a disease. In ovarian cancer, prognosis is influenced by several factors:
- Stage at diagnosis: Early-stage cancers have a better prognosis. For instance, Stage I ovarian cancer has a 5-year survival rate of approximately 95%, while Stage IV drops to around 15% .
- Tumor type and grade: High-grade tumors tend to grow and spread faster, affecting prognosis.
- Patient's overall health: Age, performance status, and other health conditions can impact treatment success and survival.
Understanding these factors helps in tailoring treatment plans and setting realistic expectations.

Advances in treatment and their impact
Recent developments in ovarian cancer treatment have positively influenced prognosis:
- Targeted therapies: Drugs like PARP inhibitors have shown promise, especially in patients with BRCA mutations.
- Immunotherapy: Emerging treatments aim to harness the body's immune system to fight cancer cells.
- Personalized medicine: Genetic profiling of tumors allows for more tailored and effective treatment strategies.
These advancements offer hope for improved outcomes and quality of life for patients.
Considering future options: cryopreservation
Facing a diagnosis of ovarian cancer can be overwhelming, especially when treatment options are limited. In such cases, exploring future-oriented possibilities becomes essential.
At Tomorrow.bio, we offer human cryopreservation—a process of preserving individuals at low temperatures after legal death, with the hope that future medical advancements may allow for revival and treatment. While not a cure, it represents an opportunity to bridge today's limitations and tomorrow's possibilities.
We understand the emotional weight of a terminal diagnosis. Our team is here to provide information and support, helping you make informed decisions about your future.
