Ovarian cancer is a malignant disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within the ovaries, the internal reproductive organs in women. These abnormal cells can form tumors, which may invade nearby tissues or spread to distant sites. The majority of ovarian cancers originate from the epithelial cells that line the outer surface of the ovary.
