Chance of ovarian cancer at age 24 and 6 years on birth control pill? no family history
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely rare: The chance of someone at age 24 having ovarian cancer is about 1 in 50,000 though being on birth control pills actually reduces risk. So, while not impossible, this would be extremely rare at your age. But if you have concerns discuss with your doctor.
