Worldwide each year, more than 295,000 women are diagnosed, and 185,000 women die from this disease (Bray, 2018). Of these, epithelial ovarian carcinomas make up 90 percent of all cases, including the more indolent low-malignant-potential (borderline) tumors (Torre, 2018). The remainder includes germ cell and sex cord–stromal tumors, which are described in Chapter 36 (p. 756). Due to the similarities of primary peritoneal carcinomas and fallopian tube cancers, they are included within this section for simplicity.
