Ovarian Cancer Awareness

ovarian facts

Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent cancer” because its early symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions. Understanding risk factors and warning signs is crucial.

Risk Factors

  • Age: Most cases occur in women over 50.
  • Family history: BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations increase risk.
  • Reproductive history: Fewer full-term pregnancies or late pregnancies may increase risk.

 

Symptoms to Watch For
While subtle, the following persistent symptoms may indicate ovarian cancer:

  • Abdominal bloating or swelling
  • Pelvic or abdominal pain
  • Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
  • Frequent urination

 

Diagnosis and Screening
Currently, there is no standard screening test for ovarian cancer. Diagnosis often involves imaging studies, blood tests (CA-125), and sometimes surgery. Women with a strong family history may benefit from genetic counseling and testing.

Treatment Options
Treatment often includes surgery and chemotherapy. Newer therapies, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, may also be considered depending on the case.

If you notice persistent changes in your body, don’t ignore them. Early evaluation could save your life.
