Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan through the pelvis of a 45 year old female patient with cancer of the ovaries (red). This is a carcinoma, a malignant (cancerous) tumour that arises from epithelial cells that line the ovary. It is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Risk factors for ovarian cancer include uninterrupted ovulation, exposure to high levels of oestrogen, and increasing age. Treatment is surgery with follow-up chemotherapy. | |
