Ovarian cancer develops when abnormal cells in the ovaries start growing uncontrollably. These cells form a mass or tumor that can invade nearby tissues and organs. Dr. Tripti Saxena highlights that while the exact cause of ovarian cancer remains unclear, several factors can increase a woman’s risk. Age is a significant factor, with the disease being more common in women over 50, particularly those who have gone through menopause. Family history of ovarian or breast cancer, as well as genetic mutations like BRCA1 or BRCA2, can also contribute to a higher risk. She also notes that women who have never had children or experienced hormonal imbalances may be at greater risk for developing ovarian cancer. Despite this, it's important to understand that ovarian cancer can occur in women with no known risk factors, which is why early detection and monitoring are critical.
