Gauge risk.
Recognize symptoms.
Recent studies have reached a startling conclusion: This so-called silent killer isn't quiet after all. Nearly 90% of women with early-stage ovarian cancer have a cluster of identifiable symptoms several months before their diagnosis: most commonly, abdominal and pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and a bloated sensation. Other signs are abnormal vaginal bleeding, constipation, and fatigue. If women alert doctors to a sudden onset of these ailments, they may catch the disease early, when it's 90% curable.

Get tested.
Women should get a pelvic/rectal exam from their gynecologist every year. It's not comfortable, but it does a far better job than a simple vaginal exam at assessing the health of your ovaries—which in some women are tucked behind the uterus.

If the exam raises any questions, your doctor should follow up with a transvaginal ultrasound. And if any abnormal masses are found, a CA-125 blood test may be used to determine if they are malignant.

Find the right treatment.
It can range from removing the ovaries and uterus to taking out the omentum (thin tissue covering the stomach and large intestine) and lymph nodes in the abdomen. Chemotherapy may be given to destroy any cancer cells remaining after surgery
