Abstract

Aging is a natural inevitable process that involves a gradual decline in the physiological functions of an organism over time. Almost all the systems of the body are affected by aging mostly reproductive system. The female reproductive system is key for the health of women’s well-being. Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women and is the eighth most common cause of death in females due to cancer. Its risk increases with age, peaking in the late 70s.  Several factors are responsible for ovarian cancer out of which aging is the most important one. One cannot stop her aging with passing life but the incidence of gynecological problems like ovarian cancer can be successfully reduced and overcome to some extent by following some preventive measures. This review article emphasizes the role of aging in ovarian cancer and how it can be controlled for the better health of the female in old age.
