The risk of having ovarian cancer increases with age and decreases with pregnancy. It is more common in White women than in Black women. There is strong evidence that being tall, or being overweight or obese increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death for females. The rate of ovarian cancer deaths has fallen by 40% since 1975. Most of this change has happened since the mid-2000s. The improvement is because this type of cancer is slowly becoming less common, and because doctors have learned more about the disease and have better treatments such as better drugs available.
