| Summary: | Cancer stands out among the causes of death after heart disease. In the female population, ovarian cancer becomes more lethal than breast cancer, less than half of the women affected by the disease, live more than five years after the initial diagnosis. Most of the patients are diagnosed more frequently, after the menopause and in an advanced stage. The causes of the disease are associated with genetic and hormonal factors. Women who have symptoms related to ovarian cancer should undergo a physical examination, transvaginal ultrasound, and measurement of biomarkers such as cancer antigen 125. Once the diagnosis is made, patients should be referred to a gynecological oncologist, for the application of the corresponding treatment according to the stage of the disease. |
