Ovarian cancer is very treatable in the early stages of disease; however, it is usually detected in the later stages, at which time, treatment is no longer as effective. If discovered early (Stage I), there is a 90% chance of five-year survival. Ther... Read More about Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer.
