Most cases of ovarian cancer (cancer of the ovary)
develop in women over the age of 50. The cause is not clear. Some ovarian
cancers can be cured. In general, the more advanced the cancer (the more it has
grown and spread), the less chance that treatment will be curative. However,
treatment can often slow the progress of the cancer. Some women with a strong
family history of ovarian cancer may benefit from regular screening.
