Dr. Jose Angel Arranz, head of the unit of urological and gynecological tumors and section chief of oncology at Hospital Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, we expose in detail the various aspects related to ovarian cancer. Risk factors for developing ovarian cancer different factors are known to influence the development of ovarian cancer.
The genetic factor may be key. Some genetic disorders can cause mutation and make us more willing to suffer this type of tumor.

Currently there are techniques such as CT image diagnosis, MRI, or PET, with which early diagnosis could be made, but very expensive.

Women over 75 years are not eligible for screening for breast cancer. The court in The Hague yesterday determined that the age of 75 years continues.
The case was brought against the state by 3 women, the Test cases Clara Wichmann Fund and Breast Cancer Society. They also want women older than 75 have the right to the rural population to participate.
Now, only women aged 50 to 75 years every 2 years for a call to be tested. Who is older may be examined, but that happens on demand rather than via a call for screening.
Scientists have regular screening so little use in later life, than because tumors grow so slowly that most patients die before something else.
The plaintiffs call it discrimination. They say that every year hundreds of older women really die needlessly from breast cancer.
The Court is the balance between the usefulness of screening and medical risks that are not made, a medical issue. The Minister of Health policy should therefore be based entirely on the advice of scientists, in this case by the Health.
Only when there are strong indications that an opinion is wrong, it should be waived. That is the breast cancer research is not the case, the court said.
