Dallas, TX: Cancer of Ovary is now liked with exposure to asbestos. The Ovarian Cancer is that form of cancer that develops in the tissues of the ovary. The Ovary is defined as one or a pair of reproductive glands, in which, the eggs, known as Ova are formed

The ovarian cancer takes its roots in the cells on the surface of the ovary and in the form of tumors that build up in the egg cells. This cancer develops with the appearance of the symptoms, at an elderly age of about 50 years, but a few cases have also been observed in the younger females.

The cause of ovarian cancer was not definitely known so far. The sicknesses, due to the exposure to asbestos, along with its secondary affects, are now linked with a variety of infections, including asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and now the ovarian and cancer of the larynx.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has linked the asbestos exposure with two other types of cancers, the Ovarian Cancer and the Laryngeal Cancer. The women folk, who usually develop this disease, are the housewives, who along with the daily routine of their housework, have to wash the daily linen, the daily working clothes filled with the asbestos dust, of their spouse and family members, working in the asbestos related job sites The dust and the waste are in the form of thin powder that sets on their clothes and is inhaled or swallowed unconsciously by these women, thus leading to the foundation of this disease.

The continuous work in the kitchen, washing the kitchen pans and the used crockery, and living is these homes, which contain a high percentage of asbestos in their construction, also prove harmful for a healthy atmosphere. Nearly 35 million buildings in the U.S. contain a high percentage of this silicate mineral asbestos in the form of floor and roof tiles, sanitary pipes, and insulation material.

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are as follows:

a) Heavy feeling in pelvis and pain in the lower abdominal region
b) Abnormal periods, and bleeding from the vagina.
c) Loss or gain in the weight, with back pain, that goes on worsening.
d) Nausea and vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Treatment is through surgery, followed by chemotherapy and medication. .

The declaration of the linkage of asbestos exposure with the ovarian cancer, has opened new research fields for its detection, symptom study diagnosis, and treatment study. Under this new vision and version, many complicated problems will be solved, providing a better ease and a comfortable life to the ovarian cancer patients
