The silent killer or the ovarian cancer is the fourth disease in the world, when measured on a death ratio scale. It is known that this particular affection causes problematic diseases as well and once the tumor shaped cancer is fully developed it can easily spread to other organs. Its speed of spread depends on the stage it is in.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Ovarian cancer is baptized the silent killer because of its mainly invisible symptomatic states. Most of the effects of the symptomatic states can mimic other affection that can relate to the ovarian area all together. This is why it is so hard for a medical specialized physician in oncology and gynecology to properly detect ovarian cancerous diseases. It is claimed that this affection is the most miss diagnosed disease in the world.

The treatment itself is a medical mystery when approached. It seams that the main cause of its apparition is still an unknown factor in a more complex medical equation. A lot of unknown answers lie in the area of the ovarian cancerous affections. Many groups were formed in the last period that managed to create a highly complex brochure regarding all the expected and unexpected things that happen to an ovarian cancer woman. These groups are formed by the ovarian cancer suffering women themselves, many of them still in therapy, other still suffering from the side effects of their particular treatment method.

They work side by side with the specialized physicians in this domain, in order to prevent the future cases of ovarian cancerous affections and to inform people all around the world about the impacts of the disease.

The symptomatic states of the ovarian cancer are rather peculiar and they are present in either advanced stages of development or more harmless ones. It all starts with some pains in the abdominal region that can persist for a while, and can appear from time to time, during the tumor evolution. While the bloating appears, some urges to urinate may also follow.

During these urges or after the process, a stinging sensation is likely to appear. All of these are more and more associated with the second stage of development but the abdominal pressure and pain can be felt overall during all of its four stages.

Other symptomatic effects can consist in some troubles in the digestive and excretion system. These can be very tricky because most women encounter only these particular symptoms which have nothing to do with the ovarian cysts and tumor shaped presence in the reproductive area. This can mean some diarrhea, or just a period with constipation. Often there is the alternative change between them.

More clear symptoms consist in the abnormal vaginal bleeds that occur outside the menstrual time, the unexpected weight loss and the feeling of tiredness and full after eating just a few meals.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Actually it holds on the fourth place between the cancerous diseases. It seams that more and more women are affected by the ovarian cancerous affection. This is a global problem today, when one hundred thousand women are diagnosed year by year with this particular disease.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The other problematic part when cataloging the statistical data of the ovarian cancer is the fifty two thousand lives that will be claimed only this year. The numbers are growing unfortunately, with all the awareness factors and the whole ovarian cancer fight that occurs in a more commercial level.

It is said that prevention is a far more important tool in the fight against this disease than the treatment or therapy. The ovarian cancer is probably the most mis diagnosed disease there are in the medical books. This is one of the main reasons for which the numerous death rates and the affected women are rising. It is a medical mystery in many of its forms and this goes from the proper prognosis methods, to finding out the causes of its apparition and development and unfortunately the treatment methodology.

The symptomatic states are rarely clear and visible and many women do not even take in to account most of them when they encounter. Bloating, urges to urinate, followed by stinging sensations and abdominal pains are usually its main symptoms but this can just be a light mimic of other disease forms and other ovarian affection which also occur with a far more regularity than the ovarian cancerous affections.

It is a well disputed subject between the many suffering women, and most of them are wondering about how the ovarian cancer looks like on ultra sound. As we already pointed out in a previous article related to this terrible disease, the ovarian cancer is the classification of a tumor mass conglomerate formed by the imbalances that occur in the inner tissue near the ovaries. The cells that functioned properly, which have a life cycle just as anything else in nature, acquire a mutation along the way; trigger by age and unknown other factors.

The cells were living and dying, getting replaced constantly by freshly divided cells which took on the responsibility further. When the mutation occurs, the cells are divided when they are not needed, when the tissue does not need reinforcements, or any other additional help, so they remain on the surrounding inner tissue without a proper responsibility.

They end up on the right wall of the inner tissue, near the fallopian tubes that ensure the egg’s travel to the uterus.

In an ultrasound the ovarian cancer looks like a small bumpy shaped surface. This happens in the more advanced stages of development, the third and the fourth stage, when unfortunately the survival rates drop lower.

There are so much x factors when we try to picture the development of this particular kind of affections, and many specialized physicians in the field of oncology and gynecology are trying to resolve.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Ovarian disease is today a very ‘popular’ cancerous form that takes the lives of so many suffering individuals. The most analyzes and studies in this medical segment reflect the fact that seventy five thousand women will eventually lose their lives during the course of this year.

This kind of diseases are spread on a world scale level and it is qualified the medical boards that it hold the number four cause of death.

Many of the women who are suffering from the ovarian cancerous affection are actually not accusing any pains at all when talking about the evolution process and the development of the ovarian tumor.

The inside mechanism is triggered by basically an unknown factor and it has something to do with the hormonal dysfunctions that occur on a cellular level. The previous healthy cells are divided with a NDA that is compromised by the ovarian cancer gene. The freshly cranked cell layers are now spreading much faster than before and usually remain without a proper function.

The cells are always backing up the action of the organic tissue and the vital organs. Any lesion or other dysfunction that may appear, the cells are trying to repair. The actual responsibility is now diminished by the diseased cell formation that wonder around without any thing to do. This happens in the right part of the fallopian tubes, the channels that once the egg is produced from the ovaries, it conducts it to the womb or the uterus. The right side is now compromised and the cells that have no proper function are gathering around and form a mass of tissue cell conglomerate that is qualified by the medical books as a tumor.

There are two forms of tumor formations. One of them is defined as benign when it does not represent a danger or a form of threat in their development and it can be easily removed with chemo therapy, but a bit lighter than the all ready known chemo cocktail which delivers all those former side effects.

The removal of a benign tumor formation has a very small chance of recurrence during the next sixty years. This is not something that can be said about the other type of tumor, the malignant one. This tumor form is highly damaging to the body, it constantly spreads out towards other vital organs and affecting other systems like the digestive one and the circulatory one, though it is still called an ovarian affection.

It is known that this tumor formation is more complex and the chemo therapy will not always treat or destroy it. When removed surgically, there are seventy five percent chances of recurrence in the next thirty or forty years.

The combat tool is always constant and regular visits to the OBGYN.

Affections in the ovarian region are more and more common nowadays than it used to be last decades ago. The ovaries are a region of every woman’s reproductive organs. They are located in the general pelvic region and they resemble when it comes to size, to an almond.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
It is essential to know the fact that these reproductive organs, the ovaries produce the hormonal substance we know as estrogen and the of course, the progesterone. The ovaries are also responsible for the egg production that travels to the uterus through the channels of the fallopian tube.

It is considered that after reaching a certain age, like fifty five or sixties, a woman stops releasing the egg produced in the ovaries, and with this effect the hormones are at much lower levels, so the whole menstruation process stops

When the ovarian cancerous disease spreads from its initial spot to another area of the organism, the newly developed tumor mass has the similar form of imbalanced cells and the same medical qualification as the original one. For instance, if the ovarian diseases spread to the area of the liver, the cancerous diseased cells in this region are actually cranked with the ovarian cancer. The affection is metastatic form of cancer and it is an ovarian type one not liver cancer. For this motive, it is cured as ovarian affection, not a liver one. Medical staff specialists in oncology and gynecology define the new tumor far side affection or a metastatic disease.

It is essential to remember the fact that ovarian cancer is baptized the silent killer, and it is for a very good reason. The ovarian cancer has an almost invisible symptomatic state.

Those are very hard to spot even for a specialized staff gynecologist or oncology physician. This is why many women gathered in large social groups that tend to create more and more info brochures in order to create market awareness about all the existing details of this particular deadly disease.

It is unfortunate just to look at the statistical data to see all the negative effects that it has over the course of one single year’s cycle. It claims that each year almost seventy five thousand suffering women lose their lives due to this disease alone. Other parts of this social casualty statistics point out that year by year one hundred thousand women suffer from its effects.

While the women who had suffered from this particular disease, and managed to cure, treat or remove it, are now handling the production of this informational brochures and help out medical doctors to find out more and more about this particular disease. They are actually trying to solve it with a proper and universal treatment, one that will not involve other annexed therapies to it, and other things like side effects we are familiar with from the chemo treatment form.

In a previous edition we have highlighted some fact regarding the division of the ovarian cancer, the four stages of envolvement and development, the tumor particularities, the main fact that occurs during the cell imbalances, when the mass of tissue is consolidated in the inner part of the fallopian tube that is linked to the ovary itself and creates a cell conglomerates which eventually leads to another level of evolvement and another cancerous stage.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The problematic issues appear in the third stage of development, but not quite yet. It is more than dangerous to play around and not visit your medical specialized gynecologist that handles all of these cases, can prescribe something, can do the proper inspection and can ultimately set up a diagnosis for your particular stage, followed by the solution.

In the third stage a powerful chemo therapy can have the healing effect, which basically means that the tumor developed on the inner side tissue of the fallopian tube is diminished. But to what cost? Or to rephrase more particular…at what physical cost all these? The side effects are very impactful. Many people still believe that the hair loss is the only problem that can occur after the chemo form of therapy.

The third stage is when all of the symptomatic appear, some of them lighter, some of them more clearly visible, they all affect the body. We are talking about bloating sensations, an urge to urinate, or a stinging sensation when urinating, abdominal pains and discomforts, abdominal pains based on a felt substance in that region, which can also lead to inflammation of the belly. Abnormal vaginal bleeds, outside the normal menstrual period, or in women that have exceeded the post menopause, this is a clear symptom that something is not functioning right.

We can talk about the more obvious symptomatic states, such as the unexpected weight loss that occurs between the second and third stage of ovarian cancers development.

The fourth and final stage is not based on negative impact of effects linked by the symptomatic states, but the fact that it spreads the diseased cell activity in other regions of the body, it infects them as well, pointless, because in many cases, a detection in this stage means very low survival chances.

From the passing that occurs during the third towards the fourth type of ovarian cancer stage, the countdown has begun. Only five or six percent of the women diagnosed with an ovarian cancer in the fourth stages manages to live more than the two year survival rate.

This is why prevention is often the perfect weapon against the ovarian cancer, and it often lies between that three month visit to the specialized staff gynecologist or oncology physician. The analyzes and statistics in this fashion reflect the fact that lesser women go to a gynecology Clinique from three to three months.

Ovarian cancer is one of the fourth deadliest diseases in the world at this time. We have pointed out in previous articles the fact that this disease alone is responsible for more than fifty two thousand deaths year by year, and another one hundred thousand are affected by it, by its symptomatic states, which are rarely clear defined, and the negative effects it has on a body.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The ovarian cancer is divided into four stages. Each stage is describing the evolution of the disease, the development of the cell tissue conglomerate that is created by the cell imbalanced activities along with some other factors, all extremely impactful, and unfortunately all in a very negative way. In the pictures you can see how does it look like.

The first two stages are the ones where the cell layers affect the tissue, mostly in an invisible manner, because no symptomatic effect is recalled in this two development phases, but each and every case of ovarian cancerous affection evolves differently.

It is important to know that a proper visit from time to time, to the gynecology specialist or oncology ones, can really make a difference. It is essential when dealing with acne cases that you take in to account previous history, former cancerous or carcinoma based affections, forms of breast cancer especially, can in time present cases of recurrence but in other form, mainly ovarian issues.

It is very important to know all the details before even going to the medical specialized gynecologist. It is important to ask him questions regarding all the particularities of this disease. Detection is mandatory in these first two development stages.

These stages often reflect the imbalances that occur in the link channel between the ovaries and the fallopian tube (the ones that help the egg travel to uterus). There are some imbalances that occur from many reasons, but the main cause is still a mystery for the medical community worldwide.

This region is particularly vulnerable and once a cell imbalance starts, the cells act in a chaotic manner. It seems that the dysfunctions are on a more profound level, and they act very strange in a diseased environment. It seems that the cells are dividing more and more rapidly but without a particular purpose. This can lead to a lot of problematic issues in the inner tissue and its surrounding surface, when all of these unnecessary cells gather around and form a cell mass conglomerate, what in the medical books is known by the name of tumor.

This can evolve in two ways. The benign form, when there are not suppose to be any other complications, the removal is a simple procedure, either by chemo light cocktail or by surgical intervention in which way recurrence cases are very very rare; and the malignant tumor, where usually chemo is mandatory when detected later. Surgical intervention can solve the problem removing it, but there are sixty to seventy percent chances of re formation, after a certain amount of time.

As we all know by now, the ovarian cancer is one of the four global leaders in the death causes segment. It is an unfortunate fact that year by year almost fifty two thousand suffering women lose their lives due to various complications that are delivered by this particular disease.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The affected women population is even bigger, and the really negative aspect of all this is that the main apparition cause is similar to an equation with lots and lots of unknown factors. This is why the search for the proper treatment method is so behind. We can talk about risk factors, the light symptomatic states that affect slowly the healthy body but not enough so that it could show on the CT scan when the oncology specialist is presuming something is wrong and searches for additional problematic in the reproductive system.

The risk factors are emphasized firstly by previous cancerous affections. A history of cancerous diseases may be enough to set a clear diagnose, or to make the specialist physician look harder. Many women had suffered from a form or another of breast cancer, once in their lifetimes, and although it had been treated, the risk factor still remains. Some cell activity that affects the internal tissue which creates the malignant tumor lie still in the body and get triggered by an unknown factor later on in life, developing forms of cancer in various region, but most often we are talking about the reproductive system, the ovarian cancer.

Another factor is the gene factor. Women that have a first or even a second degree relative in their families that had long time ago encountered a cancerous affliction, have thirty percent more chances of acquiring themselves a cancerous form. And it does not really matter when the diseased cells activity affected, the breast, the colon, the intestinal tract; it seems that there is a higher chance of development in the ovarian region, on the channel that links the ovaries to the fallopian tubes.

There a tissue mass conglomerate is formed because of the imbalanced activity of the tissue cells that in a healthy body should replace the elder cells and take on their responsibilities, here they gather around the tissue with no particular purpose and form the tumor.

When this stage is reached, we can affirm that the tumor formation can have to separate path ways. It can evolve and develop in to a malignant cell when complications arrive and the whole chemo therapy is mandatory, or the surgical intervention, but this can leave some cranked cells that will eventually create cases of recurrent ovarian cancers; or the benign one, when surgery or a lighter chemo can be delivered without major health risks.

Gene therapy or the placement of healthy genes in the inner tissue is a theoretical form of treatment, which the medical staff is hoping to develop in the next years. It is said to deliver results up until the third stage of development.

Ovarian cancer is the fourth cause of death in the world. It claims almost fifty thousand lives year by year and it affects around one hundred thousand more. These dark statistics point out that the public is not really prepared for this disease and its problematic issues that surround it.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The medical communities and the specialists in oncology and gynecology are still fighting against its effects, while searching for the standard and universally accepted treatment that will work for any of the suffering and diagnosed women.

The silent killer, as it was baptized, not just by the medical staff specialists but also the community of the suffering women that battle on and carry this terrible disease inside their inner tissue, has managed to catch the eyes of almost every one.

The prevention is of course the best weapon against it, but it was reached a conclusion that awareness can be also effective. The awareness process through the numerous marketing campaigns has managed to increase the public’s interest in this particular medical area.

The main cause of its apparition on a global level is still a mystery for all people involved with it. This is why the whole concept of the treatment is such a far away problematic.

The public awareness is actually a project delivered by the American Institute against Cancerous Diseases alongside with the European Medical Commission and The Oncology and Gynecology Society. Of course many other groups are involved here, many small associations that are composed mainly by suffering women with terminal status, detected to late, in the development stages of the ovarian cancer.

Their objective is to reach as much women as possible and encourage to visit the oncology specialist or to inform more about all of the aspects regarding the ovarian cancer issues.

It all started out as a way to make some profits, a small garage business with some young girls printing impactful messages on tee shirts, with lots of colors and strong fonts, so that it cannot pass along without turning a head. All this merchandise that we see today started back then.

They actually came up with the idea of a universally used logo for when it came to the ovarian cancer issue, the partnerships between women and the whole ‘being there for one and other when though times are present’. They came up with the idea of the bandana logo, which we can see today on many different objects, but for the same purpose as it was intended to thirty years ago when it all started: awareness.

It is essential for the message to create an impact. They started out with more negative aspects, with more violent one, and the impact in the society was actually not what they wanted but it turned out to scare people enough so that they could go to a library or a gynecology office and ask for counseling, info and some advice.

When it comes to ovarian cancer, many women tremble. Fifty two thousand of them will die only this year alone. When you are trying to find out whether or not a treatment or a cure can work for the ovarian cancer is better to search out in the informational catalogs made available by the numerous institutions and medical communities worldwide.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Last year the suffering women along with previous cancerous sufferers have gather in the American National Institute against Cancerous Diseases. In their head quarters these people managed to compile a whole medical agenda with all of the light and heavy symptomatic phases which they have encountered during their cancerous affection.

They include the bloating feelings, the belly or abdominal pains that are usually present, being usually associated with the sensations delivered by the casual cramp; the abdominal discomfort that occurs in the second and third stage of development; the overall pains; the nausea feelings; vomiting (in more advanced stages); troubles resting; the overall sensation of constant tiredness; the fullness sensation that occurs after a light meal; the sensation that there is a fluid presence in the abdominal region, also the inflammation of the belly area due to the presence of this fluid which is develop inside the tissue near the link that exists between the ovaries and the fallopian tubes; the presence of the tumor (created in the right side of the tissue that links the ovaries to the fallopian tubes and acquired by the dysfunctions and the imbalanced activity of the cranked cells); and more obvious in the third and fourth stage of development, the abnormal vaginal bleeds, outside the menstrual period, and the unexpected weight loss.

All of these are the standard symptomatic states, the most common ones when it comes to ovarian affections.

The question still remains: can the ovarian cancer be cured? If we looked at the statistics we cannot point out a certain answer. It mainly depends on a various risk factors. Mostly it depends on the actual stage of development in which it was diagnosed. The first two stages, although it represents no complications and other damaging risks, they also are the proper stages when it comes to applying therapeutic methods.

In these particular stages, the ovarian cancer has an eight percent chance of being properly removed. The other two stages imply lots of other risk factors which can come in play whenever a form of therapy is adopted.

For example, take chemo therapy, one of the most common curing methods today. In the first stages, you can get rid of your ovarian cancerous affection and suffer only from the numerous side effects which we know very well. The hair loss, the bone pains, the nausea, the vomiting, the depression, the lack of energy and power and other.

The surgical intervention can sometimes help but in forty to forty five percent of the time, the diseased cells reappear and the cancer is classified as recurrent.

Ovarian cancerous affections are worldwide spread and it is a statistical unfortunate fact that one hundred thousand women annually are suffering from the effects of this particular disease. Another unfortunate thing about the ovarian cancer is that it claims the lives of basically one third of the whole suffering women.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Treatments available are much impactful now than a decade ago, but still the silent killer causes many victims in diverse corners of the world. It seems that year by year more and more women are diagnoses with this cancerous affection, and that the awareness factors and the messages send by the communities that are fighting against it, has no impact whatsoever.

It is unfortunate for a lot of factors but the main thing is prevention. Prevention is a far better tool than the actual treatment methodology and all details that lie beneath it. A medical investigation is mandatory when feeling the symptomatic states that the medical communities alongside the groups composed of the suffering women have gathered through very careful consideration.

They include an urge to urinate, followed closely by a stinging sensation; sensations of bloating are not uncommon for the early development stages, abdominal pains accompanied by the feeling that there is a fluid present in the belly region; this often is a very clear indicator that it might be an ovarian cancerous disease involved.

Other more clear symptomatic states are the abnormal vaginal bleed that occurs mostly in the cases where the woman has already reached the post menopause period.

But in early states of this operation we can talk about numerous facts. Teenage ovarian cancer may be as impactful and as negative as the late ovarian cancer development. It is a really hard time and it mostly consists in doing the right decision. It is all about the therapy here, and the stage in which it was diagnosed.


The first stage is actually the best stage to deal out with but in almost eighty percent of the cases, the ovarian cancer has an invisible symptomatic phase and this is why the most early diagnosis come from patients that suffer from ovarian cancer in its second stage of envolvement.

As prevention methods, when it comes to the early apparitions of ovarian cancer we can claim that the best way is to give birth. The birth process alone can be very benefic when it comes to fighting the ovarian cancer affections. The process of giving birth itself is defined by a lot of organic transformations. These transformations occur after the birth and they create a more resistant tissue surface, while the cell activity performs much better than the previous period.

The risks and negative factors of the ovarian affection get even lower if a young woman gives birth again. It seems that the risk lowers indirectly proportional to the number of children born.
