Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy of the female genital tract. Genetic predisposition, usage of hormone, relative disease and reproduction, and lifestyle factors are possible risk factors for ovarian cancer. Women can be stratified into high risk and general populations according to the ovarian cancer risk. Screening and prevention were reviewed for the two populations. Population-based trials in the general population have not demonstrated that screening improves early detection or survival. Strengthening the awareness of tumor prevention and conducting effective screening and prevention in the high-risk population are cost-effective methods to reduce the incidence and mortality of ovarian cancer.
