Stage IV Ovarian Cancer Survival Rates: Factors & Outlook

The five-year survival rate for stage IV ovarian cancer is approximately 15–20%, but individual outcomes vary significantly based on:

• Patient age and overall health
• Extent of cancer spread
• Treatment type and response
• Genetic factors (e.g., BRCA mutations)

Some studies report up to 25% five-year survival for younger patients receiving aggressive treatment, while rates may be as low as 10% for older patients or advanced disease. Survival statistics are population-level estimates and constantly improving with new therapies like PARP inhibitors and immunotherapy.
