Ovarian cancers are relatively rare in comparison to other cancers but have a high death rate. Detection is difficult as symptoms are often vague and non-specific, leading to many cases being diagnosed at an advanced stage. Pap tests are not effective for detecting ovarian cancer. While incidence does increase with age, it does not decrease.
