What are the survival rates for different gynecological cancers?

Ovarian Cancer: The 5-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is approximately 47%. Early-stage diagnosis can dramatically improve this rate. Cervical Cancer: The overall 5-year survival rate is about 66%. Early detection through regular screening can lead to a nearly 92% survival rate for localized cases. Endometrial Cancer: The 5-year survival rate is around 81%, with early-stage detection boasting rates as high as 95%. Vulvar Cancer: The 5-year survival rate for vulvar cancer is about 70%, with early detection also playing a crucial role. Vaginal Cancer: The 5-year survival rate is approximately 50%, but can be higher with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
