Introduction
The diagnosis of ovarian cancer brings with it many questions and a need for clear, understandable answers. We hope this National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 00-1561) will help. It describes the symptoms, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease. Having this important information can make it easier for women and their families to handle the challenges they face.
Cancer researchers continue to study and learn more about ovarian cancer. The Cancer Information Service and the other sources of NCI information listed under
"National Cancer Institute Information Resources" can provide the latest, most accurate information on ovarian cancer. Publications mentioned in this booklet and others are available from the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER. Also, many NCI publications may be viewed or ordered on the Internet at http://cancer.gov/publications.
Words that may be new to readers appear in
italics. Definitions of these and other terms related to
ovarian cancer can be found in the Dictionary. For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given.
