Risk & Prevention

There is no cure for ovarian cancer, but there are ways to potentially prevent it. Know your family history, as a family history of breast, ovarian, uterine, and/or colorectal cancer increases risk of ovarian cancer. Get genetic testing, as 20% of ovarian cancer cases are caused by a genetic mutation. Discuss risk-reduction options with your doctor, as 70% of the most common and lethal form of ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes. For those at average risk, removing fallopian tubes at the time of another planned pelvic surgery can prevent ovarian cancer. Those at increased risk may want to take additional steps.

About Ovarian Cancer

Graphic reading, What you need to know about ovarian cancer. Factors that increase risk can include family history of ovarian, breast, uterine, or colorectal cancer. Genetic mutations such as BRCA, being post-menopausal, and being 55 or older can also increase risk. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and oral contraceptive use can decrease risk of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the number one cause of gynecologic cancer deaths, the number 5 cause of cancer-related deaths in women, and number 11 most common cancer in women. There is no early detection test. Symptoms can include bloating, difficulty eating, pelvic or abdominal pain, and urinary frequency.

For those at average risk, removing fallopian tubes at the time of another planned pelvic surgery can prevent ovarian cancer. Those at increased risk may want to take additional steps. Factors that increase ovarian cancer risk are family history, inherited genetic mutations, postmenopausal, and being age 55 or older. Factors that decrease risk are pregnancy, breastfeeding, and use of oral contraceptives. Symptoms can include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating/feeling full quickly, and frequent and/or urgent urination. If symptoms are new, unusual, and persist for 2 weeks, see your doctor. If ovarian cancer is suspected, see a gynecologic oncologist. Get further info and support at ocrahope.org.
