Ovarian cancer. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the pelvic region of a woman with a large ovarian tumour (purple/ green). She also has ascites,a build-up of fluid (red) in the abdominal cavity,indicating that the cancer has spread to the peritoneum,the lining of the abdominal cavity. Ovarian cancer is common in women over 50. The survival rate is low because the cancer is often widespread by the time symptoms appear. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the female reproductive organs,followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The pelvic bones are beige and fat is pale green | |
