A member asked:

How long can ovarian cancer go undetected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many years: Ovarian cancer can go undetected for many years. Many people don't have any symptoms or only vague symptoms such as bloating or mild abdominal discomfort. When patients have more significant symptoms, the cancer is usually found at an advanced stage.
