Irregular periods may indicate ovarian cancer
April 14, 2014 16:45
Women with irregular menstrual periods (more than five weeks between periods), may have a high risk of dying from ovarian cancer, a new study suggests.
In the study, women with irregular menstrual cycles at age 26 were about twice as likely to die from ovarian cancer in their 60s compared with women with regular periods, reported Fox News.
The new findings "may help with earlier diagnosis and perhaps lead to a strategy to prevent ovarian cancer," said study researcher Barbara Cohn, director of Child Health and Development Studies at the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, Calif, who presented the findings April 9 at the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
