Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women, and it causes more deaths than any other type of female reproductive cancer.Ovarian cancer symptoms are often vague. Women and their doctors often blame the symptoms on other, more common conditions. By the time the cancer is diagnosed, the tumor has often spread beyond the ovaries.
