A member asked:

Is ovarian cancer always associated with a mass?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sort of: Ovarian cancer will always increase the size of the ovary. Ovarian mass is a clinical term implying that an enlargement of the ovary can be perceived and that depends on the method of examination. Please consult this site for more info on this important topic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-cancer/basics/definition/CON-20028096
