New method found to detect early stage ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers, expected to kill about 15,000 women in 2008, according to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Risk factors remain a mystery; however, researchers believe a woman is at increased risk if she has a family history of cancer, personal history of cancer, is older than 55, has never been pregnant, and has used menopausal hormone therapy.
