Ovarian cancer is a serious cancer affecting women. Its exact cause is not always known, but increasing age, a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, and certain genetic factors may increase the risk.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Ovarian cancer may be diagnosed through ultrasound, CT/MRI scans, and other tests as required. Treatment depends on the stage and spread of the disease.

Surgery can be an important part of treatment, with the aim of removing as much of the cancer as possible. Depending on the patient's condition, chemotherapy and other treatments may also be recommended.
