    Complications, Metastasis & Recurrence

    1. Ovarian Cancer and Other Conditions

      1. Ovarian Cancer and Other Conditions

        If you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, there’s a chance you also may have one or more other medical conditions.

      2. Ovarian Cancer: What to Know About Bowel Obstructions

        A bowel obstruction can be a complication of ovarian cancer. You’re more likely to get this if your cancer is advanced.

      3. What Is Primary Peritoneal Cancer?

        Peritoneal cancer is related to the most common kind of ovarian cancer. The two illnesses cause some of the same symptoms.

    2. Metastasis

      1. Where Does Ovarian Cancer Spread?

        When ovarian cancer spreads, cancer cells may reach your liver, lungs, or other places in your body. 

      2. Managing Liver Metastases With Ovarian Cancer

        Sometimes, ovarian cancer spreads to nearby organs like your liver. When that happens, it’s called metastasis.

    3. Recurrence

      1. What to Know About Ovarian Cancer Recurrence

        Though ovarian cancer could come back anywhere in your body, it most commonly recurs close to the original cancer site.

      2. Common Secondary Cancers After Ovarian Cancer

        Ovarian cancer can raise your risk for developing a different, second cancer in another part of the body later on.
