Hello,
The adenoid cystic carcinoma of the ovary is a slow-growing tumor. The prognosis is good in such a case.
However, if metastasis develops than prognosis can be poor. A PET scan can be done to check metastasis. You can revert back with reports once done to discuss further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
