Cancer, ovary means: Ovarian cancer, or cancer of the ovary. The ovary, which is the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs, begins with ovaries. Anatomically, the location of the eggs is in the pelvis near the fallopian tubes that connect to the uterus. The majority of ovarian tumors found in women younger than 30 years old are benign and fluid-filled cysts. These cysts do not have the potential to become cancerous. As women get older, ovarian cancers become more prevalent in women.
