What is Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer develops in the ovaries, which are part of the female reproductive system and responsible for producing eggs and hormones.

Ovarian cancer is often called a “silent cancer” because symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for common digestive or gynecological problems.

Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.
