Ovarian cancer affects the ovaries. It mostly affects women over the age of 50.
It can affect anyone who has ovaries.
The ovaries are 2 small organs that store the eggs needed to make babies and produce female sex hormones.
Sometimes ovarian cancer runs in families.
The symptoms of ovarian cancer, such as bloating, are not always obvious.
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed late, but early diagnosis can mean it is more treatable.
You can still get ovarian cancer if you've had your ovaries removed because it can also affect your fallopian tubes, or the lining inside your tummy (peritoneum).
Cancers of the ovary, fallopian tubes and peritoneum are often grouped together because they are similar and treated in the same way.
Get your symptoms checked
It's important to get any symptoms of ovarian cancer checked as soon as possible. Finding it early can mean it's more treatable.
