A diagnosis of ovarian cancer is confirmed through a biopsy of tissue, usually removed during surgery. Screening is not recommended in women who are at average risk, as evidence does not support a reduction in death and the high rate of false positive tests may lead to unneeded surgery, which is accompanied by its own risks. Those at very high risk may It kills more women than any other cancer of the female reproductive system [1]. It ranks fifth among cancer-related deaths among women. The average age at diagnosis is 63. Ovarian cancer kills more people in North America, Europe, and Asia than in Africa and Asia. In the United States, White and Hispanic women are more likely to die from it than Black or American Indian women [2]. Ovarian cancer comes in a variety of forms. Epithelial cancer is the most prevalent variety. It begins in the ovary-covering cells.

Additionally, epithelial cancer can spread to the ovaries in two related forms:

Cancer of the fallopian tube develops in the tissue that lines the tube. On either side of the uterus are the fallopian tubes, which are a pair of long, slender tubes [3]. The female reproductive organ that houses a developing baby during pregnancy is the uterus. The tissue that covers the peritoneum is where primary peritoneal cancer develops. The tissue lining that covers the organs in your abdomen (belly) is called your peritoneum [4].

The treatments for these two types of cancer are the same as those for ovarian cancer. Therefore, those two forms are also regarded as ovarian cancer by some medical professionals. Malignant germ cell tumors and stromal tumors are two additional, less common types of ovarian cancer. There are many realized risk factors that might build a ladies' gamble of creating ovarian malignant growth [5-7]. The amount of time a woman spends ovulating is related to her risk of developing ovarian cancer. Factors that increase a woman's number of ovulatory cycles may increase her risk of developing ovarian cancer. Cells are stimulated to divide during ovulation. Assuming this division is strangely controlled, growths might shape which can be threatening. The risk of developing ovarian cancer is lower for women who have fewer menstrual cycles, no menstrual cycles, breastfeed, take oral contraceptives, have multiple pregnancies, and have a pregnancy at an early age. The risk of developing ovarian cancer is also lower for women who have fewer menstrual cycles, no menstrual cycles, breastfeed, take oral contraceptives, have multiple pregnancies, and have a pregnancy at an early age. Women who have had tubal ligation (commonly referred to as having one's "tubes tied"), both ovaries removed, or a hysterectomy (an operation in which the uterus is removed) have a lower risk of developing ovarian cancer. Age is also a risk factor. Non-genetic factors such as diabetes mellitus, a high body mass index, tobacco use, and alcohol use are also risk factors for

Conclusion

People who have been treated for infertility but remain nulliparous are at higher risk for epithelial ovarian cancer due to hormonal exposure that may lead to cell proliferation. Fertility drugs may be associated with a higher risk of borderline tumors. However, the link between the two is disputed and difficult to study. Fertility drugs may be associated with a higher risk of borderline tumors. However, there is no increased risk for those who successfully treat infertility and then become parents. Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen likely increases the risk of ovarian cancer. This may be due to the shedding of precancerous cells during pregnancy, but the cause is still unknown. The risk factor may instead be infertility itself, not the treatment. Hormonal conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis are associated with ovarian cancer, but the link is not completely confirmed. Although notable studies like the Million Women Study have supported this link, no large-scale study has confirmed the association. Estrogen HRT with or without progestins increases the risk of endometrioid and serous tumors but lowers the risk of mucinous tumors. Postmenopausal HRT with combined estrogen and progesterone may increase contemporaneous risk if used for more than five years. This risk is increased by higher estrogen doses. Endometriosis and pain during menstruation are additional risk factors for ovarian cancer. Clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes, lowgrade serous tumors, stage I and II tumors, grade 1 tumors, and lower mortality are all associated with endometriosis. Before menopause, obesity can raise a person's risk of developing ovarian cancer; however, this risk disappears after menopause. People who are obese and have never used HRT also face this risk. Taller women have a similar association with ovarian cancer.
