72% of women survive ovarian cancer for at least one year, and this is predicted to fall to 46% surviving for five years or more, as shown by net survival for patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer during 2010-2011 in England and Wales.[1]

Five- and ten-year survival is predicted using an excess hazard statistical model
Ovarian cancer survival continues to fall beyond five years after diagnosis. 35% of women are predicted to survive their disease for ten years or more, as shown by age-standardised net survival for patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer during 2010-2011 in England and Wales.[1] Out of 20 common cancers in England and Wales, ten-year survival for ovarian cancer ranks 7th lowest (both overall and for females only).

Survival for ovarian cancer is reported in Scotland and Northern Ireland,[2,3] though it is difficult to make survival comparisons between countries due to different methodologies and criteria for including patients in analyses.
