The main risk factors for ovarian cancer include: 1  Having a family history of ovarian cancer. Having a mother, sister, or daughter who has had ovarian cancer will raise your risk. 2  Inheriting gene changes. A small number of women with a family history of cancer have inherited gene changes, such as the BRCA gene changes.
This is because these cancers can be caused by an inherited mutation (change) in certain genes that cause a family cancer syndrome that increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Family cancer syndromes About 5 to 10% of ovarian cancers are a part of family cancer syndromes resulting from inherited changes (mutations) in certain genes.
