More than 8 out of 10 (80% of) ovarian cancers occur in women over the age of 50. On this page we’ve listed some factors that are known to affect a woman’s chance of developing ovarian cancer. Some increase the risk and some decrease it.

- UltrasoundYou’re probably familiar with ultrasound imaging. It’s that wonderful tool that can show you the gender of your baby while it’s still in the womb. It has many other uses as well. It can be utilized to locate abdominal anomalies, and it can help to guide real-time biopsies.
- MRIMost of us are familiar with the term “MRI.” This imaging tool is one of the strongest resources for helping to show even the most subtle of issues because of its ability to provide high contrast resolution and exceptional clarity. Brain tumors and cancers of the spine are often diagnosed through MRI, as are tumors of the joints and bones. As more advances with this technology are made, cancers of the liver and abdomen are being diagnosed.

- X-Rays
- Nuclear MedicineIf you’ve heard the term “bone scan,” you’re at least minimally aware of nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of certain anomalies, including cancer. Nuclear medicine usually painless, with the patient swallowing, inhaling, or having injected the radioactive material which is designed to accumulate in the part of the body that’s being examined. It is often used to diagnose cancers of the organs, bones and joints.
- MammographyIf you’ve ever sprained a joint or broken a bone, you’re likely aware of X-rays. However, did you know that X-rays can play an important role in the diagnosis of certain cancers? Flouroscopy (a type of X-ray that can detect gastro-intestinal disorders) and mammography (a type of X-ray that can detecting and diagnosing breast cancer) are commonly used tools in the fight against cancer.
- Computed TomographyA CT scan takes a series of x-rays that build up a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body. The scan is painless and takes 10-15 minutes. CT scans use a small amount of radiation, which would be very unlikely to harm you or anyone you come into contact with. You’ll be asked to not eat or drink for at least four hours before the scan.
- ChemotherapyIn addition to offering the most advanced surgical treatments, Dr. Heffernan and his staff take a special interest in cancer genetics, immunotherapy, and targeted chemotherapy treatments for gynecologic malignancies. Each treatment plan is tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of the patient and the diagnosis.
- Radiation TherapyRadiation therapy affects only the part of the body being treated. It works by targeting the cancer cells, destroying them to keep them from growing and dividing. While the normal cells of your body can be affected by radiation, they usually recover and regain normal function.
- Radiation Oncology“I had always intended to pursue a career in oncology due to experiences I had helping family members dealing with cancer. While in medical school, I learned more about the field of Radiation Oncology. The need to select the optimal treatments for each patient and the technical expertise and critical thinking required to evaluate different treatment approaches spurred my interest. For me, Radiation Oncology was a perfect mix of high-tech, patient care and being able to make an immediate difference in people’s lives. I find it very rewarding helping patients to better understand all of the different options and approaches available to treat their specific cancer. Taking time to review what has been done, what we can do, and what to expect from their treatments. I really strive to help patients navigate these options and allow them to feel comfortable with their decision”

- GynecomastiaGynecomastia is the most common male breast disorder. It is not a tumor but rather an increase in the amount of a man’s breast tissue. Usually, men have too little breast tissue to be felt or noticed. Gynecomastia can appear as a button-like or disk-like growth under the nipple and areola (the dark circle around the nipple), which can be felt and sometimes seen. Some men have more severe gynecomastia and they may appear to have small breasts. Although gynecomastia is much more common than breast cancer in men, both can be felt as a growth under the nipple, which is why it’s important to have any such lumps checked by your doctor.
- Skin CancerIn the U.S., breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women after skin cancer. It can occur in both men and women, but it is very rare in men. Each year there are about 2,300 new cases of breast cancer in men and about 230,000 new cases in women.
