abstract = {Despite treatment having improved through intensive
surgical procedures and chemotherapy-and more recently,
targeted therapies-ovarian cancer is the most fatal female
cancer. As such, we wanted to analyze age-specific survival
trends for ovarian cancer in Denmark, Finland, Norway and
Sweden over the past 50 years, with a special aim of
comparing survival development between the age groups.We
modelled survival data from the NORDCAN database for 1-, 5-
and conditional 5/1-year relative (between years 1 and 5)
survival for ovarian cancer from 1972 to 2021.Young patients
had a $70\%$ 5-year survival while the survival was only
$30\%$ for the oldest patients. Conditional survival showed
that survival between years 1 and 5 did not improve for
patients older than 60 years throughout the 50-year period,
during which time the gaps between the youngest and the
oldest patients widened.Improvement in 1-year survival was
so large that it masked the modest development between years
1 and 5, resulting in a widening age disparity in 5-year
survival. The current treatment practices, which appear
increasingly effective for younger patients, have not helped
remedy the large age differences in ovarian cancer survival.
Early detection methods and therapeutic innovations are
urgently needed, and aged patients need a special focus.},
