Whenever we talk about cancer among women, people are always worried about breast cancer. Due to the fact that is remains as the number one cancer affecting women, many fear it. But did you know that ovarian cancer is harder to detect? Not only that, it also sadly happens to be the fourth most common cancer amongst Malaysian women.

WHAT IS OVARIAN CANCER?

Ovarian cancer is a cancer that affects the female reproductive system, the ovaries. When pregnancy occurs, the egg travels from the ovary through the fallopian tube into the uterus, where the fertilized egg settles and eventually becomes a baby. When cancer develops in ovarian cells, it is known as ovarian cancer. Typically, it affects women aged 40 to 60 years.
