What kind of leg pain is associated with ovarian cancer?

The Doc — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:41:20 +0000

Hi, Im doing a project and Im at the symptoms of ovarian cancer and one of the symptoms is leg pain, but I’m having a hard time explaining it, is it just regular leg cramps that you get in your calf or does it radiate down your leg. Also I can’t find out how intense the pain is, so what kind of leg pain is associated with ovarian cancer, and what leg pain should people be looking for! Thanks for the help!
Also I read that the pain is usually in the shin not the calf is there any truth to that?? Thanks again!!

Ovarian Cancer Signs and Symptoms

The Doc — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:08:34 +0000

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and subtle, making it difficult to know if there is something wrong. Know the symptoms, know your body, and know when to see a gynecologist.

What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer vs. ovarian cysts?

The Doc — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:55:17 +0000

I had an ovarian cyst about two years ago. My sister has PCOS and there’s a good chance that I have it as well. I’m more concerned that I have a possible tumor though. I looked up the symptoms for ovarian cancer and I have almost all of them except for maybe one or two. I’m really scared. I’m only 17 and I have no idea how to approach my parents about it. If I do have something wrong with me though, I don’t want to wait until it’s too late to try and get help. I also have symptoms that could possibly just be another cyst, although I did just get my period so I don’t think that it could be a cyst. It could even be uterine prolapse, but those symptoms aren’t the same as the gassy, abdominal pain and back pain I usually have particulary the week before and the week after my period. I also have a lot of underarm perspiration. Could this be another sign? Mostly I’m just scared that it might be to late and though I’m a strong Christian and I understand that there is a reason for everything.

Vaccines Targeting Breast and Ovarian Cancer

The Doc — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:43:52 +0000

Research over the last decade has demonstrated that human tumors are immunogenic and that cancer patients can have immune responses specific for their tumors. At the same time, many mechanisms have been identified that act to limit the tumor specific immune response. Cancer vaccines may have the potential to stimulate tumor immunity to levels that have an impact on tumor growth. The development and testing of cancer vaccines may lead someday to the ability to use the immune system to prevent the first development of cancer or of relapse in patients who have been previously treated.
