Are you at Risk of Developing Ovarian Cancer?
In the United States, 1 of 68 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer by the age of 80. The common age of diagnosis is 60-65 years, and more women are at risk of death by ovarian cancer than the breast cancer population. Certain risk indicators and symptoms can help you determine if you will be most at risk for developing ovarian cancer.
General Risk Indicators
Certain general risk factors contribute raise chances of developing ovarian cancer. One specific risk is simply age. Other risk factors are having few or no children, early age at start of a woman's period, late age of menopause or stopping your period, and not using oral contraceptives for at least five consecutive years. This is based on the theory that as we ovulate or make an egg each month, and the surface of the ovary has to repair itself as the release of the egg causes a tiny tear in an ovarian follicle, at some point the repair mechanism breaks down and cancer cells develop.Genetic Risk Indicators
