Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about ovarian cancer, diagnosis, treatment options and ongoing care. Our FAQs are designed to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
-
What are the early signs of ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer symptoms can often be subtle and may be mistaken for common digestive or hormonal issues. Common symptoms include persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, changes in bowel habits, frequent urination, and unexplained fatigue. If symptoms are persistent or occur frequently, specialist assessment is recommended.
-
Does an ovarian cyst mean I have ovarian cancer?
No. The vast majority of ovarian cysts are benign and do not develop into cancer. However, some cysts or ovarian masses require further investigation to determine their nature. A specialist assessment, including imaging and other tests where appropriate, can help provide an accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.
-
How is ovarian cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, ultrasound scanning, blood tests, and sometimes CT or MRI imaging. If cancer is suspected, further investigations or surgery may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
-
What treatment options are available for ovarian cancer?
Treatment depends on the type and stage of ovarian cancer, as well as your individual circumstances. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or a combination of treatments. Your care will be tailored to achieve the best possible outcome while considering your overall health and personal preferences.
-
Can ovarian cancer be treated with minimally invasive surgery?
In selected cases, ovarian cancer surgery can be performed using advanced laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques. These approaches may offer benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Your suitability for minimally invasive surgery will depend on the extent of the disease and your individual treatment needs.
-
When should I see an ovarian cancer specialist?
You should consider seeing a specialist if you have persistent ovarian cancer symptoms, an ovarian cyst or pelvic mass that requires further investigation, abnormal scan results, elevated tumour markers, or if you would like a second opinion regarding a diagnosis or treatment plan. Early specialist assessment can help ensure prompt diagnosis and access to the most appropriate treatment options.
