This document aims to help general practitioners in their daily practice with cancer patients, by presenting a summary of the care pathway of an adult patient with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer in women worldwide. Approximately 239,000 cases were registered in 2012, representing almost 4% of all new cancer cases in women (2% overall), and is the eighth most common cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide (14th overall). Ovarian tumors are often cystic, but due to the deep location of the ovaries, they can grow to a large volume before causing symptoms that can be very varied and are never specific.
