The main risk factors for ovarian cancer include: 1  Having a family history of ovarian cancer. Having a mother, sister, or daughter who has had ovarian cancer will raise your risk. 2  Inheriting gene changes. A small number of women with a family history of cancer have inherited gene changes, such as the BRCA gene changes.
The risk of breast and ovarian cancer is higher for women with a high-risk BRCA1 mutation than with a BRCA2 mutation. Having a high-risk mutation does not guarantee that the woman will develop any type of cancer, or imply that any cancer that appears was actually caused by the mutation, rather than some other factor.
