A member asked:

How fast does ovarian cancer spread?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It's variable.: Some ovarian cancers spread very slowly - over years, even. The most common form of ovarian cancer likely spreads more quickly than that (weeks to months), but every patient with ovarian cancer is different.

Dr Ali and 2 doctors agreed

Ovarian cancer: The speed of ovarian cancer spread is determined by the type of ovarian cancer and if it is newly diagnosed or recurrent.
