Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian Cancer is a type of cancer that occurs within one or both of the ovaries of females due to the abnormal growth and development of ovarian cells. The ovaries are an internal part of the female reproductive system and due to their location within the body symptoms of early or advanced ovarian cancer development may not be present. As with other forms of cancer early detection and diagnosis is the most important factor in achieving the best possible outcome with treatment. This type of cancer is generally treated with chemotherapy and surgical intervention and over 20,000 women in the US are expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2020.
