What is the chance of inheriting ovarian tumors?

I believe that everyone is no longer unfamiliar with ovarian malignant tumors. When many patients with ovarian malignant tumors are pregnant, what they worry about most is whether the ovarian malignant tumor will be passed on to their children. We can understand the patients' concerns. Who doesn't want their baby to be healthy? So let us answer this question for you below.

In recent years, ovarian cancer has become one of the major gynecological diseases that endangers our female friends, and it has brought great distress and pain to women. Can ovarian cancer be inherited? Now it seems possible, but it is not as obvious as some other genetic diseases (such as albinism and hemophilia).

A large amount of data shows that a family history of ovarian cancer is the most important risk factor for ovarian cancer. Women with no family history of ovarian cancer have a lifetime risk of 1/70; if one first-degree relative is ill, the risk increases to 5%; if two first-degree relatives are ill, the risk is 7%. Tumors in other parts of the body (such as breast cancer, rectal cancer, endometrial cancer) may also be combined with ovarian cancer to form an overall tumor pattern in the family.

The characteristic of hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome is that it develops at an early age. The average age of onset of general ovarian cancer is 59 years old, while the average age of onset of this hereditary ovarian cancer is 52 years old. It is a hereditary disease caused by a major gene abnormality in the body and manifests as ovarian cancer. There are many genes involved, and the specific genes have not yet been fully determined.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows that ovarian malignant tumors have a certain hereditary probability. Of course, if you are worried, you can do a good job of checking during pregnancy, and pay more attention to your daily life than others. Good habits can prevent the invasion of many diseases, so we must start with small things and strictly discipline ourselves.
