In this episode of the epithelial ovarian cancer series, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor explores how your personal profile can influence your risk—focusing on characteristics you simply can’t change.
She breaks down four key factors: age, race, ethnicity, and height. You’ll learn which race is most susceptible, and why women of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry face a significantly higher risk. Dr. Taylor also explains a surprising finding: taller women have a slightly higher risk, with studies showing about a 7% increase for every two inches of height.
With epithelial ovarian cancer being primarily a disease of postmenopausal women, this episode can help you better understand your individual risk.
