| | Ovarian Cancer - Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention |
 | | Ovarian cancer may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. | | | To diagnosis ovarian cancer, the doctor asks about the woman's personal and family medical history and does a physical exam, including a pelvic exam and pap smear. | | | When the cancer has spread to other organs in the abdomen, doctors try to remove as much of the cancer as possible.This leaves a smaller amount to be treated by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Ovarian cancer |
| | Radiation therapy is rarely used in ovarian cancer in the United States. | | | Chemotherapy can also be used to treat women who have a recurrence. | | | First, symptoms are vague and non-specific, so women and their physicians frequently attribute them to more common conditions. |

| | Other cysts are pathological, such as those found in polycystic ovary syndrome, or those associated with tumors. | | | The vast preponderance of ovarian cysts in women of pre-menopausal age are benign; those occurring in post-menopausal women may indicate more serious disease and should be investigated through ultrasonography, especially in cases where other family members have had ovarian cancer. | | | Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about 2 centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst: specific types of cyst include graafian follicles (which may rupture at mid-cycle and cause mittelschmerz) or corpus luteum cysts (which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely). |
