A risk factor is anything that increases your chance of getting a disease such as cancer. The main risk factors for ovarian cancer include: Having a family history of ovarian cancer. Having a mother, sister, or daughter who has had ovarian cancer will raise your risk.
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries. Women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries â each about the size of an almond â produce eggs (ova) as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and is frequently fatal. Early-stage ovarian cancer, in which the disease is confined to the ovary, is more likely to be treated successfully. Surgery and chemotherapy are generally used to treat ovarian cancer. 1  Symptoms.
