Ovarian Cancer

A cancer that begins in the female organs that produce eggs (ovaries).

Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and belly. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and can be fatal.

Ovarian cancer often has no symptoms in the early stages. Later stages are associated with symptoms, but they can be non-specific, such as loss of appetite and weight loss.

Surgery and chemotherapy are generally used to treat ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer can have no symptoms, but people may experience:

Pain areas: in the abdomen or pelvis

Gastrointestinal: bloating, change in bowel habits, indigestion, or nausea

Abdominal: abdominal fullness, fluid in the abdomen, or lump in the abdomen

Whole body: cancer-related fatigue or loss of appetite

Also common: weight loss
