Stages of Ovarian Cancer

Kristina Rua, Patient Nurse Navigator with Miami Cancer Institute, explains a stage one tumor is confined to the ovary, and a stage two cancer would be on both ovaries and extending into the fallopian tubes. "The amount of tumors does not differentiate the stage, it is more where the location is", she says. Some symptoms of ovarian cancer are weight loss, discomfort in the pelvis area, and a frequent need to urinate.
