The incidence of ovarian tumor factors unclear, But environmental and endocrine effects in ovarian cancer risk factors in the most attention. According to Epidemiology and etiology of its investigation, its risk factors and high-risk individuals are:
⑴ environmental factors: industrial developed countries and upper class women's high incidence of ovarian cancer, may be related to high cholesterol in the diet. In addition, ionizing radiation and asbestos, talc will affect oocytes and ovarian tumors induced by the increased opportunities, smoking and vitamin A, C, E and the lack of incidence may also be relevant.

⑶ early detection, early treatment. Ovarian cystic tumor diameter greater than 6 cm surgical resection should be, sent by conventional pathologic examination. Benign tumors continue to grow because it might also have the malignant transformation. Ovarian solid tumor surgery as soon as possible regardless of size, intraoperative frozen biopsy to determine the scope of surgery.
