Risk factors to consider
Although all women can be affected, certain factors increase the risk of ovarian cancer, such as a family history of cancer, hormonal factors, and lifestyles like smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and being overweight.
Ovarian cancer prevention
Despite the lack of a reliable screening test, healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, breastfeeding and medical monitoring can help reduce the risk of this cancer.
Current screening and outlook
The CA-125 blood test, often used for suspected ovarian cancer, lacks accuracy. Until medical advancements are made, vigilance remains essential to detect any abnormal signs and consult a doctor promptly if you have any doubts.
