Can you die from Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women. The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is 49%, but varies with age and the cancer's stage and grade. The overall five-year survival rate for patients with early-stage ovarian cancer (stage I and II) is approximately 90%, compared to an 11% survival rate for late-stage ovarian cancer (stage III and IV).
