It develops from the superficial cells of the ovary.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #545454; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px;\">As there are several cell types in the ovary from which cancer can develop, there are also different histological types of ovarian cancer. Cancer cells have the ability to divide uncontrollably and to grow beyond the natural boundaries of the organ. Many cells then form the tumor, which is also referred to as a tumor.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #545454; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px;\">Only when the tumor is large enough does it cause discomfort for the patient (e.g. pain) and can be felt by the gynaecologist and visualized using various imaging techniques, such as ultrasound. Ovarian cancer cells can also reach other organs in the abdominal cavity and form metastases, e.g. on the peritoneum or lymph nodes. Ovarian cancer can return at a later stage even if the initial treatment was initially successful and unfortunately cause a so-called recurrence.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7f07c630 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7f07c630\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38e5e88c\" data-id=\"38e5e88c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64eaa628 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"64eaa628\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-63d003a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"63d003a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49c8b81\" data-id=\"49c8b81\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f5d074 headline elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f5d074\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">First things first<br><span>Don't rush things<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dca30b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9dca30b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Find experts<br><\/strong>Get treatment at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eierstock-krebs.de\/kliniken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">center of excellence specializing <\/a>in ovarian cancer (ESK)!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t rush<br><\/strong>Only in a few cases is surgery on the tumor necessary immediately.
