Interactive Educational Website for Women With Ovarian Cancer & Caregivers
Completed · Early Phase 1
Conditions studied: Stage III Ovarian Cancer, Stage IV Ovarian Cancer, Recurrent Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer
In brief
Ovarian cancer accounts for more deaths than any other gynecologic malignancy. The majority of patients are diagnosed with Stage III-IV disease. Nearly 80% of these patients will recur resulting in 5-year survival rates of 14-32%. Although enrollment is increasing in hospice, hospice programs have been challenged to reach eligible patients. Several factors limit the number of people who enroll in hospice and the length of their hospice stay. Prognostication challenges and the increasing availability of cancer therapies for people with cancer set the stage for a mismatch between certification of a 6 month prognosis and contemporary medical care. Additionally patients often are not aware of hospice and the services they can provide.
