Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor (cancer) that grows in a woman's ovaries. There can be minimal or very generalized symptoms such as bloating or abdominal discomfort or the sensation of being full very early after eating. Ovarian cancer is sometimes related to a family history of ovarian cancer or a hereditary condition such as being BRCA positive. It is more common in women who have never been pregnant and in older women. Workup is with biopsy, scans, lab tests such as "CA125" and genetic testing.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
A gynecologist or gynecologist-oncologist typically confirms the diagnosis with a biopsy. The treatment plan depends on factors such as the subtype and extent of the disease. The primary treatment option for many women is complicated surgery in which the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes are removed as well as lymph nodes and the abdominal lining (called the "omentum"). After surgery, many women are also treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted drugs depending on the cancer cells characteristics.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
