Why does ovarian cancer have a poor prognosis?
Ovarian cancer does not produce specific symptoms that would clue doctors to this diagnosis. Most common symptoms include malaise, weakness, bloating, vague abdominal discomfort. 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.
What is connection between ovarian cancer diaphragm cancer?
Ovarian cancer can spread to the diaphragm. Once the cancer has spread to this important muscle, radical surgery and/or chemotherapy is needed. The Mayo Clinic has found out through research, that the radical surgery is actual a life saver -- it increases the chance of survival to over 40 % if they do proceed with the surgery to remove the ovarian cancer tumors from the diaphragm. Go to MAYOCLINIC.org for more information.
Compared to other types of cancer how fast does ovarian cancer progress and spread?
You'd really have to be more specific about the type of cancer--"ovarian cancer" really only means the primary cancer site was in the ovaries. You might try just typing in "ovarian cancer" on google and reading up on the various forms. I believe it is one of the fastest growing cancers, and unless treated early with surgery and chemotherapy can spread quite quickly. Unfortunately it has very few symptoms to start with, and can get overlooked in check-ups.
