Ovarian cancer is also more common among obese women with more than 15% rate compared to other females with a healthy weight. The ovarian cancer is similar to the endometrial and the breast cancers. It can also be fueled by estrogen which is produced by fat tissue, or by insulin resistance.

Besides being linked to obesity, ovarian cancer occurs mostly during the postmenopausal period, so it highly recommended for women to have their annual checkups especially during this highly sensitive period.
