Extremely unlikely: As you are 17 yrs asking about a condition in a 14 yr old - it's really best to get your parents to pose those questions in this format. That being said, ovarian cancer under the age of 40 yrs is rare....possible but extremely rare. Under the age of 20 yrs ALMOST unheard of. More than half of all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are over 60 yrs old
