Ovarian Cancers Questions and Answers
1. What is Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian Cancer is defined as a cancer formed in the tissue of a ovary. This cancer usually starts as a tumor in the gland or on the surface of the ovary (National Cancer Institutes).
2. Why do you get Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian Cancer doesn't have an exact reason why like most cancers. Doctors have a list of estimated reasons why: Age, family history, Jewish ethnicity, height, birth control pills, number of births, breastfeeding, tied fallopian tubes, and hysterectomy (Your Disease Risk).
3. Who do you get Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian Cancer is only found in women because the ovary is a reproductive gland in which the eggs are found.
4. When do you get Ovarian Cancer?
Women get diagnosed Ovarian Cancer when they are in their mid-forties, but some cases have gotten it in the twenties or thirties. Mid-sixties is the age when Ovarian Cancer is found.
5. Where do you get Ovarian Cancer?
To best answer this question I think I need to state the stages of Ovarian Cancer. "Staging is performed by the surgeon (gynecologic
oncologist) when the ovarian cancer is removed" (Johns Hopkins Pathology).There are four stages of Ovarian Cancer. Stage one is when the cancer is only in one or both of the ovaries. Stage two is when the cancer spreads to the uterus or other places of the pelvis. Stage three is when the cancer is in one or both ovaries, spread in any part of the pelvis but is still in the abdominal cavity (the space between the abdominal wall and the spine). The forth stage is when the cancer has spread through one or both ovaries, abdominal cavity, and the liver (Johns Hopkins Pathology).
