Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
The symptoms, causes and different risk factors related to ovarian cancer (OC) in Lahore Metropolitan are studied. Information was collected from 52 patients (having mean age 45±10 years) referred to the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Lahore (INMOL), Pakistan. The risk was found relevant in the patients having positive family history of any cancer other than OC and that’s why 21.1% patients faced this dilemma. Marital status was not found a cause of OC as unmarried and married patients both were affected. Birth control pills were not a cause of OC as 96.6% patients in Lahore did not used them. High parity and Brest feeding were the cause of OC as 59.6% patients have high parity and 78.8% have breast fed their children for more than one year. Fallopian tube tide (94.2%), hysterectomy (86.5%) and smoking (98.1%) were not the cause of OC. Irregularity in menstrual cycle (30.8%), eating disorders (38.5%), abdominal pain or bloating (90.4%) and natural menopause (50%) were the symptoms of OC. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not found a cause of OC in Lahore as all the selected patients under study never used HRT.
