For women around the world, ovarian cancer is the worst gynecological malignancy. Because of its asymptomatic existence, it is recorded to be the 18 th most deadly disease worldwide . The late-stage diagnosis of ovarian cancer is moderately accredited . The relative survival for ovarian cancer is generally 45%. Due to its specificity, the vastness and scenario of the disease diverges across countries throughout the world. In the present study, the source data for centralizing and updating a revised worldwide scenario for ovarian carcinoma have been obtained from 96 papers published between 1984 and 2019.
