Answer

You'd really have to be more specific about the type of cancer--"ovarian cancer" really only means the primary cancer site was in the ovaries. You might try just typing in "ovarian cancer" on google and reading up on the various forms.

I believe it is one of the fastest growing cancers, and unless treated early with surgery and chemotherapy can spread quite quickly. Unfortunately it has very few symptoms to start with, and can get overlooked in check-ups.
