A member asked:
The risk for ovarian cancer if a great-great grandmother had it & another relative past 3rd degree died from it? only 2 relatives had it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty low: Increased risk is usually associated with a history of first degree relatives and early onset/diagnosis (less than 50 years of age)
