These were benign, frozen section was done immediatly after removal. Do I have a greater risk for ovarian cancer because of this? I have heard that "serous cystadenomas" are a genetic malformation of certain cells. Is that true? Where can I find more information about this? I am concerned because cancer does run in my family, not female types though...colon, skin, and one other one...can't think of it off the top of my head. Can someone shead light on this? Thanks!
