The objective was to assess the long-term survival (5-15 years) in 463 women, with stages IIb-IV epithelial carcinoma of the ovary and to compare their survival with that of a normal population matched for age and sex. Statistical analysis of 463 women, with stages IIb-IV epithelial cancer of the ovary, who were participants in two consecutive North Thames Ovary Group randomized trials, which took place between 1985 and 1994, was performed. The median follow-up period was 10.5 years. The women were treated with debulking surgery, where possible, and adjuvant platinum chemotherapy. One of the randomized groups in the first North Thames trial also received total abdominal radiotherapy. Survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were assessed. Prognostic factors for long-term survival were determined using a mathematical model to separate early effects from late effects. The ratio of observed to expected deaths compared to the normal population was calculated. Overall survival at 5 years was 21% (95% confidence intervals 17.5-25%), at 10 years was 13.5% (95% confidence intervals 10.5-17%), and at 15 years was 12% (95% confidence intervals 9-16%). The important prognostic factors for long-term survival were disease-free or minimal residual disease (a single remaining deposit
