If cost is the primary concern, then explore the local dental schools such as the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD and Howard University in Washington, DC (fees are about 30% less).
Women who are diagnosed with early stage ovarian cancer (stages I to II) have five-year survival rates that range from 57% to 90%. In contrast, the five-year survival rates for patients who are diagnosed with advanced stage disease range from 18% to 45%. Despite advances in surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy the mortality rates of individuals with ovarian cancer remain poor. In the past 40 years, the median five-year survival rate for women with advanced stage cancer has increased from 37% to 46%.
Ovarian Awareness Month: September. O varian cancer is cancer that begins in a woman's ovaries. From the ovaries, it can then spread either to the nearby organs (uterus and pelvis) or through the blood to the lymph nodes. The direct causes of ovarian cancer are unknown, and current research is expanding this field. Long believed to be a 'silent killer,' symptoms of ovarian cancer are becoming more readily known, and include bloating, pelvic pain, urinary problems and loss of hunger.
