While imbalanced expression of within the ovary cause either pre-arrived menopause (premature ovarian failure) or over-menstrual cycles which are well recognized as a risk factor for ovarian (and other reproductive) cancer.

Epidemiological data has shown that the risks of EOC are highest among peri- or post- menopause women, while increased parity or the use of oral contraceptives is preventive. These data suggest that alterations in reproductive factors are associated with ovarian cancer risks; however, the molecular...
Later menopause (after 50) The things that increase the chance of developing ovarian cancer are mostly out of our control (obesity can be controlled), which is devastating somehow. My sisters-in-law had a higher risk of developing cancer and 2 out of the 3 actually did. Since their mother...
