Ovarian cancer usually begins in the ovaries and spreads to pelvis and abdomen. There is one ovary in each side of the uterus which is about the size of an almond. The ovaries produce ova and hormones, estrogen and progesterone.

Ovarian cancer is often undetected until it spreads to pelvis and abdomen and hence is difficult to treat and fatal when detected. If the cancer is detected when it is confined to ovaries only, the treatment is likely to be successful.

The treatments available for ovarian cancer are surgery and chemotherapy.

Symptoms
Hardly any symptoms are seen during early stage of ovarian cancer. Usually few and non specific symptoms are seen in advanced stage ovarian cancer that is often confused for common condition such as constipation or irritable bowel.
