A member asked:
My grandmothers sister my mothers mother) died in her late 70"s of ovarian cancer, does that make me at greater risk? what is considered a family risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A family risk for ovarian cancer would include sisters, mother, aunts. The person you describe would be a great aunt. But, you should review this information with your doctor since you could get tested to see if you carry any gene that puts you at greater risk. Best of luck to you!
