Ovarian cancer may be passed on to daughters. Ovarian cancer is divided into sporadic and hereditary, of which hereditary ovarian cancer accounts for 15-20% of all ovaries, and this percentage is gradually increasing with the advancement of genetic testing technology, the often mentioned hereditary breast cancer ovarian syndrome caused by BRCA gene mutation is one of them. patients with BRCA1 mutation have a 45% risk of developing ovarian cancer before the age of 80, while the risk of developing ovarian cancer with BRCA2 mutation is 12%. Patients with BRCA mutations tend to develop ovarian cancer at an earlier age than patients without mutations, with an average age of diagnosis of 53 years, compared to 58 years for patients with sporadic ovarian cancer. At present, besides BRCA gene, many other genes have been found that may cause ovarian cancer to be heritable, such as NBN and ATM, so ovarian cancer is a tumor that may be inherited.
