Epithelial ovarian cancer is the fifth to sixth most common cancer in women, causing more annual deaths than any other gynecological malignancies in women worldwide. In the majority of cases, a good prognosis cannot be made at the diagnosis because clinical presentation of the disease occurs at an advanced stage. In the United States, approximately one-half of ovarian cancer-afflicted women die of this disease.
