What Is Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the ovaries. It is one of the most common gynecologic cancers and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because early symptoms can be mild or nonspecific.
Common types include epithelial ovarian cancer (most common), germ cell tumors, and stromal tumors, each requiring a tailored treatment approach.
Types of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer includes different subtypes, each requiring a tailored treatment approach:
- Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Most common (85-90%), usually post-menopause, often diagnosed at advanced stages.
- Germ Cell Tumors: Rare, typically affect younger women, often detected early with good outcomes.
- Stromal Tumors: Arise from hormone-producing cells, may cause early symptoms like abnormal bleeding.
- Hereditary Ovarian Cancer: About 10% of cases linked to genetics, often with family history of ovarian or breast cancer.
Risk Factors for Ovarian Cancer
Key risk factors include:
- Increasing age, especially after menopause
- Family history of ovarian or breast cancer
- Personal history of breast cancer
- Genetic mutations (BRCA-related syndromes)
- Infertility or never having conceived
Early Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Symptoms are often vague and easily overlooked. Common warning signs include:
- Persistent bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Feeling full quickly
- Urinary urgency or frequency
If these symptoms occur almost daily for more than 2-3 weeks, evaluation by an ovarian cancer oncologist in Pune is recommended.
Medical Evaluation and Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis begins with:
- Pelvic examination
- Ultrasound imaging
- Blood tests such as CA-125
- CT or MRI scans when required
Final staging is usually confirmed during surgery. Correct staging is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
