OVARIAN CANCER

Ovarian cancer is a nonspecific term for a variety of cancers that originate in the ovary. There are about 20 microscopically distinct types. They can be classified into three large groups, epithelial cancers, germ cell tumors, and specialized stromal cell cancers. There are three groups because the ovary contains collections of cells with three distinct origins and functions.

Is it possible that a serous cystadenoma will return even after surgery?

Serous cystadenomas are typically benign tumors that do not recur after surgical removal. However, in rare cases, a recurrence may occur if not all of the tumor was removed during surgery or if there is a new development of a separate serous cystadenoma.
