Warning Signs Of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is a form of cancer where a malignancy forms in one of the ovaries. A malignancy can begin in the germ, stromal, or epithelial cells within the ovaries. Stromal cells make the structure of each ovary, germ cells evolve into egg cells, and epithelial cells make up the outer layer of the ovaries. Ovarian cancer is caused by an acquired or spontaneous genetic mutation that results in cells growing and multiplying beyond control. Genetic factors make some individuals more susceptible to ovarian cancer development than others.
