Breast and ovarian cancer does not necessarily imply that both cancers occur at the same time, but rather that getting one cancer would lead to the development of the other within a few years. Women with a history of breast cancer have a higher chance of developing ovarian cancer,[1] vice versa.
Breast cancer refers to the uncontrolled division of breast cells. It is possible for both males and females to get breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer women face.
Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer which begins in the ovaries. Anyone with ovaries can get it, including women, trans men, non-binary people and intersex people.[2] Although ovarian cancer is much less frequent, it is the deadliest among gynecologic cancers.[3]
