As the cancer is characterized by the presence of tumor cells and these cells have to be completely destroyed for the normal functioning again. Usually surgery takes place after the treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery is done in order to remove all the cancerous cells that are still present even after the procedure of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

In a revolutionary age where media campaigning has tremendous power and potential to infiltrate thinking and ideas on national and global scales, distinguishing fact from emotion becomes a confronting, yet subtle dilemma. The platform for the introduction of these 2 new HPV vaccines onto the worldwide market has been on the basis of the threat and risk of cervical cancer, and has presented the same dilemma to potential recipients of these vaccines.

But exactly how serious is the risk, and what percentage of the population is actually affected? Let's consider these facts.

This is a very difficult question to answer, because while there are symptoms in the beginning stages of the disease, they tend to be so mild that both the woman herself and her doctors may not think the symptoms are indicative of ovarian cancer.

It took me forever to understand what in the world HPV is! As a matter-of-fact it took me a long time to realize the doctors were telling me something that I needed to understand. One important fact; I was diagnosis with HPV in the old days when there were no advertisements about what it was, and the dangers that surround having it.

However, the much larger danger with cervical cancer symptoms is that they often go unnoticed because they mimic so many other common conditions such as PMS and ovulation pains. These common symptoms that most females have at one time or another are written off without ever being reported to a doctor.

More common in women over 55, there is about a one in 69 chance that a woman will contract ovarian cancer during her lifetime.

Research has shown that there are some warning signs that have been observed a few months before this cancer has been identified in patients. Sometimes women may reach the later stages of this disease and still have no symptoms. In fact, few women showing symptoms that may be associated with ovarian cancer are even diagnosed with it.

It has been known for a long time as the "silent killer". It earned this name because of the supposed lack of symptoms when cancer of the ovary is in early stages, when it is still highly curable. But, recent research suggests many women actually do have early symptoms, which are overlooked.

Since then additional studies have supported these initial findings, including one just published in the December 2007 edition of the journal Gynecologic Oncology.

When diagnosed early, the five-year survival rate can be as high as 95%. However, most cases are diagnosed in a more advanced stage, and the five-year survival rate drops to 20-30%.

In the United States, females have a 1.4 % to 2.5 % chance of developing ovarian cancer. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), has standardized the staging of gynecological cancers. It is the most frequently used prognostic tool. Both surgical and pathological findings are taken into account. The cancer is staged according to whether it is still in the ovary or spread beyond.

Ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women after lung, breast, and colorectal cancer.

It is serious and has a very high mortality rate. It is the fifth most frequent cause of cancer death in women. It is most common in women above fifty years of age. The cancer can appear in younger women too. It is seen that women having genetic predisposition are at greater risk. Clinical statistics also show less cases of this malignancy in women using contraceptive medication. Women who have had early pregnancy or have more children also seem to be at a lower risk factor.
