Some things that lower a woman's risk for ovarian cancer include: 1  Taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives). But this may slightly increase the risk for breast cancer and other health problems. 2  Having babies and breast-feeding. 3  Having both tubes tied (tubal ligation) or having a hysterectomy.
The BRCA gene vastly increases a woman's cancer risk. Women with the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have a 56% to 84% lifetime risk of breast cancer. Lifetime risk of ovarian cancer increases by 36% to 63% for women with BRCA1 and by 10% to 27% for those with BRCA2. There's no surefire way to screen women for ovarian cancer.
