Shelfari edited the description of Ovarian Cancer (Patient-Centered Guides) Sunday, August 2 2009.

• This unique guide for ovarian cancer gives women crucial medical information to improve the chance for lengthy remission and cure, as well as emotional support for the journey. Although many ovarian cancers are discovered after they have spread, having information about surgery, best practices, and support services can be life-saving. Ovarian Cancer includes: Ten things to know at the time of diagnosis, for optimal outcome How choosing a gynecologic oncology surgeon impacts survival When and how you can consider newer chemotherapy and biological treatments, now in research trials Stories of dozens of women living with ovarian cancer, some for many years "Questions for Your Doctor" for all decision points A focus on epithelial cancers, the most common and difficult to treat, with information on germ cell, sex cord-stromal cell, and low malignant potential cancers Noted cancer writer Kristine Conner and patient advocate Lauren Langford give ovarian cancer patients this supportive and much-needed resource.
