Ovarian cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the ovaries grow uncontrollably. It often goes undetected until advanced stages, which can complicate treatment. Symptoms may include bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination.
Risk factors include age, family history, genetic mutations (like BRCA1 and BRCA2), and certain reproductive history aspects. Treatment typically involves surgery and chemotherapy. Early detection and awareness of symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes.
