Ovarian Cancer
Cancer of the ovaries are the second
most common group of gynaecologic cancers, and account for about 5% of all women's
cancers. There are two main types; (i) epithelial tumours (carcinomas) which account for
90% of ovarian cancers, and (ii) non-epithelial tumours (eg. Stroma cell and germ cell
tumours of the ovary). The epithelial ovarian cancers are usually found in women aged over
40, while the non-epithelial tumours are more common in girls and young women. Epithelial
ovarian cancer has few early symptoms, a risk factor is having a family history of the
disease. Taking the contraceptive pill is known to be protective against ovarian cancer.
