Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries but typically goes undetected until it is found in the pelvis and abdomen, making it difficult to treat and commonly fatal. There are three types of ovarian cancer that differentiate depending on location of where it began: cancer than begins in the cells on the outside of the ovaries, cancer that begins in the egg-producing cells, and cancer that begins in the hormone-producing cells. Risk factors for ovarian cancer include inherited gene mutations, a family history of ovarian cancer, increasing age, and never being pregnant. Treatments for ovarian cancer most frequently include surgery and chemotherapy. There are four stages of ovarian cancer and treatments vary according to the stage of cancer present.
