Abstract

We evaluated relative survival (RS) for ovarian cancer (OC) overall, by demographic and by clinicopathological characteristics in Missouri. Survival data from the Missouri Cancer Registry were obtained for cases diagnosed 1996-2014. An improved OC survival, especially in late stage, was observed in the study period. Our findings showed demographic, especially race-associated, and geographical variations of OC survival. OC survival also differed by first course treatment received and histology. These differences indicate disparities in OC care.
