Understanding
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer develops when abnormal cells within the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or surrounding tissues begin to grow uncontrollably. The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system and are responsible for producing eggs and important hormones.
Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a “silent disease” because early-stage symptoms can be vague and easily mistaken for common digestive or gynecological conditions. As a result, some patients are diagnosed after the disease has spread beyond the ovaries.
Modern ovarian cancer treatment focuses on accurate diagnosis, comprehensive staging, molecular testing, individualized treatment planning, and multidisciplinary care. Advances in surgical techniques, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, genetic testing, and maintenance treatment strategies have significantly improved treatment options for many patients.
Primary Types of Ovarian Cancer We Help Patients Access Treatment For
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
This is the most common type of ovarian cancer and develops from cells covering the outer surface of the ovary or fallopian tube.
Common subtypes include:
High-Grade Serous Carcinoma
Low-Grade Serous Carcinoma
Endometrioid Carcinoma
Clear Cell Carcinoma
Mucinous Carcinoma
Germ Cell Tumors
These cancers develop from egg-producing cells within the ovary and are more commonly diagnosed in younger women.
Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors
These rare tumors arise from hormone-producing tissues of the ovary.
Examples include:
Granulosa Cell Tumors
Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors
Primary Peritoneal Cancer
A cancer closely related to ovarian cancer that develops in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
Fallopian Tube Cancer
A rare cancer originating in the fallopian tubes, often managed using treatment approaches similar to ovarian cancer.
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Cancer that returns after initial treatment and may require additional surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other individualized treatment strategies.
Causes & Potential Risk Factors​
The exact cause of ovarian cancer is not fully understood. However, several genetic, hormonal, reproductive, and environmental factors may influence risk.
Increasing Age
Risk increases with advancing age, particularly after menopause.
Family History
Family history of ovarian, breast, pancreatic, or prostate cancer may increase risk.
BRCA1 & BRCA2 Mutations
Certain inherited genetic mutations significantly increase ovarian cancer risk.
Lynch Syndrome
This hereditary condition may increase the risk of several cancers, including ovarian cancer.
Personal History of Breast Cancer
May be associated with elevated ovarian cancer risk in some individuals.
Endometriosis
Certain ovarian cancer subtypes may be associated with endometriosis.
Long-Term HPV Infection
Persistent infection increases the likelihood of abnormal cellular changes.
Hormonal & Reproductive Factors
Various reproductive factors may influence long-term risk.
Symptoms & Early Warning Signs
Early ovarian cancer symptoms may be subtle and nonspecific.
Common Symptoms May Include:
-
Persistent abdominal bloating.
-
Pelvic or abdominal pain.
-
Feeling full quickly when eating.
-
Difficulty eating normal-sized meals.
-
Increased abdominal size.
