Ovarian Cancer Prevention
The first step in preventing ovarian cancer is recognizing your personal risk factors for the condition and controlling them, if possible. Controllable risk factors include use of fertility drugs or hormone replacement therapy. The second step is engaging in behaviors that may protect you against the disease. For example, women with a family history of ovarian cancer may have a prophylactic oophorectomy.
