Ovarian Cancer

What is Ovarian Cancer ?
Ovarian Cancer is a disease in which the cells in the ovaries become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. Ninety percent of all ovarian cancers develop in the cells that line the surface of the ovaries and are called "epithelial cell tumors".

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:
  • Abdominal discomfort and pain
  • Bloating
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Frequent urination
  • Sudden weight gain or loss
  • Abnormal bleeding from the vagina


Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer
Occasionally, a doctor may find signs of ovarian cancer (firm, enlarged ovary) at an early stage. Pelvic ultrasound can help to diagnose the disease at an early stage. However the ovaries often appear normal during early stages of ovarian cancer. Blood tests also can help to confirm ovarian cancer by identifying blood levels of CA-125, a protein commonly found in elevated levels in women who have ovarian cancer.
