Can you have a baby with ovarian cancer?
It does not necessarily. It depends on the treatment given for the cancer. If radiation or chemotherapy disrupts the ability of the ovaries to function normally, or if a total hysterectomy is given, then a pregnancy would not be possible. Fortunately, there are treatment options that can avoid this. Early-stage borderline ovarian cancers can be treated with removal of one affected ovary and careful biopsies to ensure that there is no spread. The five-year survival rate with these cancers is nearly 100 percent, even if just the one ovary is removed. Subsequent pregnancy does not increase the risk of recurrence. In fact, pregnancy, breastfeeding and use of oral contraceptives all decrease the risk of developing borderline ovarian cancers in the first place.
Where can one find information on the survival rate of ovarian cancer?
One can find the success rate, statistics, and results of cancer treatments on the Cancer Treatment Centers of America website. Information is available regarding the most prevalent cancers that are treated at these centers.

There are no good blood markers that can diagnose ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is difficult to screen for ovarian cancer. By the time symptoms develop, quite often ovarian cancer can already be spread and metastasized.
