LGSOC is highly recurrent

Over 80% of patients with LGSOC experience recurrence.

When your cancer comes back after initial treatment, it’s considered recurrent. At first diagnosis and at recurrence, LGSOC symptoms are similar to other cancers and different diseases. That’s why LGSOC may take a long time to diagnose.

Mutations can inform treatment decisions

Cancer cells may have genetic mutations that can help your provider to choose the right treatment for you. This is why genetic testing for specific mutations is important.

Treatment journey

Although there are a variety of ways to treat LGSOC, it’s important to find the one that works best for you.
