If your carrier does provide coverage for dental implants, the insurance company will reimburse you for your benefits. 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%.
According to the American Cancer Society, 21,650 cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in 2008, and 15,520 women died from the disease. The low detection and the high mortality rates account for the fact that patients are usually diagnosed in advanced stages after the cancer has spread beyond the ovaries.
