Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is cancer that develops in the female organs that produce eggs—the ovaries. It is the third most common cancer seen in women in India after cervical and breast cancer. 85-90 per cent of women with ovarian cancer are over 40 years of age with the peak incidence between 55 and 65 years of age.

Stages of Cervical Cancer:

• Stage I: Cancer is found in one or both ovaries
• Stage II: Cancer has spread to other parts of the pelvis
• Stage III: Cancer has spread to the abdomen
• Stage IV: Cancer is found outside the abdomen
