They just take the Ovarian cancer out. women are born with 2there is no need for treatment.but they will do a follow up after surgery about 6 weeks. Very simple and since women have two they can still have children there are plenty of eggs in the other one, so no need to worry of not having lots of children they can have lots.

Survival rates for people with ovarian cancer have remained pretty much the same.As with any cancer, it depends on how early it is diagnosed. If diagnosed early, the 5 year survival rate is 92%. With regional and distant disease, the rates drop to 71% - 30%.However, we have been able to prolong life for those with advanced ovarian cancer. This has drmatically increased over the past 10 years.Hope this answers your question
