Ovarian and uterine cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer-related deaths for women with gynaecological malignant disease. The prognosis for women with uterine cancer is usually better than for women with ovarian cancer; however some women will develop aggressive tumours in either disease which increases the risk of death.
