 Hi, I am Dr. Yashika Godesar. I am the head of the department of statistics and gynecology at Manipal Hospital, Dwarka. September is a ovarian cancer awareness month. So, let's talk a small few lines about ovarian cancer. So, ovarian cancer is a cancer which arises from the ovary. Females have two ovaries on the sides of the uterus and ovarian cancer is a cancer is a silent cancer which is usually undetected because there is no unscreening test for the same. One in 75 women develop ovarian cancer and one in 100 have a high chance of high risk ovarian cancers. CA-125 used to be for following the disease and for the prognosis of the disease. Few lab tells like C-E-A-L-D-H, alpha-phytopropenate HCG are done for the same, but they are not diagnostics. Patients have come to us for with early signs and symptoms can have a pain, lower abdominal pain, lump in the abdomen and lane cycle, late signs and symptoms can be pressure symptoms. Most of the patients usually won't come with any complaint. It's just incidental finding in an ultrasound. They might be suffering from vague complaints like abdominal discomfort, bloating, gastroitis, fullness, irregular bowel habits. So, if a patient with these symptoms comes to organic clinic, we should be aware about the ovarian cancer and we should investigate it. Few people who are praise disposed are the people who have smoking or smokers, people who have had a prolonged IVF treatment, people who have had an early menarche and a late menopause. Usually, this disease occurs in the later age group, the postmenopausal age group. So, that is the age we should be worried about and more than 40 years of females, they should get their cell body checkup, early body checkup, so that they can prevent themselves from developing into a late stage cancer. Early stage cancer detective, there is a 92% stage 1 cancer between up to 92% prognosis, as good prognosis is there and it's the opposite for stage 4 right group, 29%. So, we should detect it as soon as possible so that we can save our females, our mothers from ovarian cancer. So, early diagnosis saves lives, early ultrasound as we said has to be done. There is a genetic aspirate disposition to females, especially who have a female or other females in their family who have breast cancer, ovarian cancer or a colon cancer. Even BRCA1 and 2 and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome is associated with the same. So, all those patients who have these diseases in their home or are predisposed should get themselves investigated. Even if detected late or on an incidental fighting, they should immediately meet the doctor and get themselves treated. The ovarian cancer treatment usually there will be surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the stage of the cancer. So, prevent yourself from ovarian cancer and get treated earliest. Please don't be scared of ovarian cancer. If detected early then it is ready to be treated.
