Ovarian cancer
The ovaries are part of a woman’s reproductive system, and they produce eggs and hormones. There are two ovaries, one on either side of the womb (uterus). They are connected to the womb by tubes called the fallopian tubes (see image below).
Ovarian cancer is when abnormal cells in the ovary, fallopian tubes or peritoneum grow in an abnormal way.
Ovarian cancer can develop at any age, although it is more common in older women who have been through menopause (the time when a woman stops getting her period), than in younger women.
Ovarian cancer is considered by our mob as Women’s Business.
