Ovarian cancer is known as the Silent Killer. It is often referred to this way because its symptoms have nothing to do with the actual diagnosis. These include (but are not limited to): lower back pain, change in appetite, unexplained weight changes, increased abdominal size, constant lack of energy, and nausea. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is often missed... and this results in death.





Having a family history of ovarian cancer increases your risk. Having a first degree relative (mother, sister, etc.) who's battled ovarian cancer yields your actual risk of also developing the disease to 5%.





Ovarian cancer generally strikes women around the time of menopause, so childbearing is not the greatest concern.





Good luck on your paper, I hope I've offered at least a little help.
