About Ovarian Cancer in Chennai
Ovarian Cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in one or both ovaries, the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. It is often called a 'silent' cancer because early symptoms are vague and easily mistaken for common digestive or bladder issues, leading to diagnosis at an advanced stage in many cases. The disease can arise from different cell types within the ovary, with epithelial tumors being the most common form. Genetic mutations significantly raise lifetime risk in some women.
