What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Ovarian Epithelial Cancer?
Unlocking the possibility of ovarian cancer remission starts with knowing vital information about the disease.
Ovarian epithelial cancer is the most common type of cancer in the ovaries. In fact, the malignant disease accounts for about 9 in 10 cases of all ovarian cancer diagnoses. These tumors develop from the cells lining a woman’s ovaries and fallopian tubes. As the disease progresses, it can metastasize (spread) into other organs.
Epithelial Ovarian Cancers We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
There are many different subtypes of ovarian epithelial cancer, which can behave and respond varyingly to treatment. They include:
High-grade serous carcinoma
The most common form of epithelial ovarian cancer develops in over 6 of every 10 women with ovarian cancer.
Low-grade serous carcinoma
This rare cancer accounts for 1 in every 10 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer. These tumors are often slow-growing and occur more frequently in younger women.
Clear cell
Clear cell ovarian cancer or clear cell carcinoma is a rare malignant disease. It is responsible for about 4 percent of ovarian tumors.
Undifferentiated or unclassified
Many epithelial ovarian cancers are unclassified or undifferentiated because they have underdeveloped cells that make it impossible to determine their origin.
New Hope Unlimited also provides treatment for less common subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancers, such as carcinosarcoma, borderline tumors, Brenner tumors, mucinous tumors, and endometrioid tumors.
Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Symptoms
Signs of ovarian epithelial cancer often involve the following:
- Feeling bloated
- Pain in the abdomen or pelvic area
- Feeling full, even with an empty stomach
- Increased urgency to urinate
Occasionally, additional symptoms may arise:
- Changes in bowel habits
- Weakness and fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
If these symptoms are frequent, persistent, and new to you — consult a doctor immediately.
Risk Factors for Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
All women are at risk of ovarian cancer, but some factors make it more likely to occur:
- Increasing age
- A family history of malignant diseases, such as:
- Ovarian cancer
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Rectal cancer
- Uterine cancer
- Having Lynch syndrome in the family
- Early menstruation (before age 12)
- Late menopause (beyond 52 years old)

To prevent the onset or recurrence of ovarian epithelial cancer, discuss prevention with your doctor.
