Know Your Risks
Ovarian Cancer Risk Assessment
This short assessment will help you find out if you have major risk factors for ovarian cancer.
About Cancer
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. Cancer cells are often shaped differently from healthy cells, and they reproduce rapidly, forming tumors, despite signals sent from the body to stop.
Cancer and Genetics
The human genome contains many types of genes that control cell growth. When these genes have an error in their DNA, they may not work properly. Cancer can develop if many gene errors occur.

Cancer Diagnosis
After your cancer diagnosis, everything in life may suddenly feel out of control. Your initial thoughts may be "How could this have happened to me?" and "How will I get through this?"
Cancer and Nutrition
Making careful food choices will help support your immune system�s fight against cancer. The foods you choose to eat during treatment will vary according to any side effects you may have.
Cancer Treatment
The goals of cancer treatment are to get rid of the cancer; prevent it from recurring; prolong life, and, if necessary, provide palliation, or easing of symptoms to improve quality of life.
