What Are the Chances of a 13 Yr Old to Be Diagnosed With Ovarian Cancer?

Is it possible for a 13 yr old to have ovarian cancer

    Possible but unlikely.

    Approx 1.3% of cases of ovarian cancer occur in females under 20.

    Most cases of ovarian cancer occur in women who have gone through the menopause; it is rare before the age of 45 and most cases occur between 65 and 74.

    Maybe you’re thinking of cervical cancer but that would also be extremely unlikely for that age.

    YES; and if she has not been treated she is at risk of breast cancer EVEN at her age.

    There are KNOWN cases of even a 4 yr old having Ovarian cancer.

    Whilst more common in older woman.it is a FALLACY that NO woman/girl of any age "cannot"
    contract breast or ovarian cancer..Cancer DOES NOT ask a persons age.
    Cancer does NOT discriminate..EVER.

    About two-thirds of the deaths from ovarian cancer occur in women age 55 and older. About 25% of ovarian cancer deaths occur in women ages 35 – 54. So that would mean that there is not much chance, 9% is what is left. But that’s just deaths, occurrence is probably a different percentage.
