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.
