Case Summary
- Ovarian cancer, a multifactorial disease, primarily affects women aged 50 and above, particularly postmenopausal women, though it can occur in younger individuals. Family history of ovarian, breast, or related cancers increases the risk, often due to genetic mutations or hormonal influences. Genetic mutations such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and Lynch syndrome, where multiple family members develop different types of cancers, are significant risk factors. A woman's reproductive history, including never having been pregnant or breastfed, early menarche, late menopause, and obesity, can also contribute to the likelihood of developing ovarian cancer.
