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.
However, in a postmenopausal woman (or a woman with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer) then the risk goes up somewhat that the cyst or enlarged ovary might be due to ovarian cancer. No doubt it is because of this concern that your OB / GYN doctor has set you up for an transvaginal ultrasound.
