GlossaryOvarian Cancer (ovarian carcinoma)

type of cancer originating in the female reproductive glands

Ovarian cancer, also known as ovarian carcinoma, is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries, which are the female reproductive glands responsible for producing eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. It is often diagnosed at a later stage because its early symptoms are vague and can be easily mistaken for other common conditions. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving survival rates.
