Is ovarian cancer the same thing as testicular cancer?
No, ovarian cancer is not the same thing as testicular cancer. It is quite the opposite actually. Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from different parts of the ovary. It affects females only, while testicular cancer is a cancer of the testes and only affects males. ChaCha here!

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a cancer that starts in the female reproductive glands, called the ovaries, where the ova (eggs) are produced. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of death in female reproductive cancers. The more children a woman has could decrease her risk of developing ovarian cancer. Women with either a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer also have a higher risk for ovarian cancer.
