Different factors increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Age is one of the most common factors, as the risk of this cancer increases with advancing age. Although it is most commonly seen in urban areas, women from rural regions are also prone to develop this cancer. Another common factor is nulliparity, wherein a woman has never given birth to a baby. These women are also at a higher risk of ovarian cancer. In addition, a family history of ovarian or breast cancer is a significant factor that increases the chances of developing ovarian cancer. Lastly, behavioral factors like smoking make women more prone to ovarian cancer.
