The organs located on either side of the uterus of a woman are called ovaries.
A sudden and improper growth of cells in the ovaries results in ovarian cancer.
The ovaries are the place where the eggs are produced.
The eggs produced in ovaries travel one by one to the uterus during the ovulation period of every month.
They also affect the menstrual and pregnancy cycle of a woman.
The three types of cancer produced in the ovaries are; Epithelial tumors, these tumors just start growing on outer surface of the ovary.
The most worrying factor is, it becomes undiagnosed until it reaches the advanced stage.
Germ cell tumors, this type of cancer occur very rarely, as it happens in eggs producing cells of the ovary.
Stromal tumors, this is another rarest form of ovary cancer, because it happens when the cells show sudden growth in the nerve connecting the two ovaries together.
The ovarian cancer is almost impossible to detect as it leaves no symptoms to diagnose its arrival.
The most common complementary therapies used by medical practitioners are; Refloxology, Armotheraphy, massage, acupuncture, visualizations.
These therapies are used to cure the disease at the initial stage and to relieve the patients from pain.
The above mentioned methods can't be employed to persons showing advanced stage of ovarian cancer.
In the standard method, sizes of the cancer cells are analyzed, and then the stage of disease is determined.
Besides it, the health and age of the patient are considered.
If the disease is in advanced stage, then a surgery may be required.
