Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a malignancy that originates in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. It is often referred to as the "silent killer" because symptoms may not manifest until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Risk factors for ovarian cancer include a family history of the disease, inherited genetic mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, and certain medical conditions like endometriosis. Symptoms may include abdominal bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, blood tests, and biopsies. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, tailored to the stage and type of ovarian cancer.
