The advent of the computer and cyberspace technology has led to the explosion of, and instant access to, seemingly endless volumes of information in the various fields of human endeavor, including in medicine, via the internet.

This modern “virtual library” on the Web, accessible to practically anyone, any place, in the world where the internet exists, has leveled the playing field for people around the globe. Practically any information is instantly available, in different languages, to any individual within a second or two on the World Wide Web, with a simple click of the mouse. I dare say, the world today is, metaphorically speaking fundamentally flat, as far as the access to data about science, medicine, art, technology, and other human enterprises, are concerned.

Roughly 1 in 72 or 1.39 per cent of women born today will have cancer of the ovary in their lifetime.  The American Cancer Society had estimates that about 21,990 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and about 15,460 will die from it.

Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common malignancy among females and ranks fifth in cancer deaths among them. It accounts for 3 per cent of all cancers in women.
