Genetic Risk Factors Identified for Ovarian Cancer


Receiving a diagnosis of ovarian cancer can be overwhelming. Not only does an individual have to deal with the effects of the disease, treatment and recovery but they may be unable to take care of themselves or continue working after such a diagnosis. Social Security disability benefits may be available to help those who are eligible.

In the past, ovarian cancer was known as the silent killer because symptoms didn't present themselves until the cancer had progressed. Now, the American Cancer Society reports that there is a 5-year survival rate of almost 93% for those who have early detection.

Researchers from an international study involving 24,000 women have identified risk factors for developing ovarian cancer. Researchers in the study discovered 4 chromosomes in the body that could affect the risk of a woman developing ovarian cancer.

Researchers consider this to be a significant step toward assessing the risk of ovarian cancer. Women who are found to be at greatest risk could be given the chance to take preventative steps.

While dealing with treatment and recovery time, Social Security disability benefits may be available to help offset the financial burden. If you have been diagnosed with a serious condition, such as ovarian cancer, contact a Social Security disability lawyer immediately to discuss your options for disability benefits.
