Hi, thank you for your query.I'm sorry for your sisters' health. Stage IV ovarian carcinoma is the stage at which metastasis has reached far off organs. Ovarian cancer that has reached Stage IV is the most deadly form of the condition.I am sorry to say that less than five percent of the women diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer survive for five years after the cancer is discovered. All the treatments done during this time are aimed at reducing the tumor bulk as removing it completely becomes nearly impossible. Generally a cytoreductive surgery is done to reduce tumor size. Cytoreductive surgery performed in Stage IV ovarian cancer patients is nearly always followed with aggressive chemotherapy treatment in an attempt to destroy the cancerous cells left in the abdomen following the surgery.
