Is it possible for someone who is 27 to have ovarian cancer?

Is it possible for someone who is 27 to have ovarian cancer? I look at all the info on ovarian cancer and it constantly talks about going through menopause, being over 40, and things of that nature but nothing that says you can be as young as 27 and have it. Also have not had any kids and all the symptoms and signs are there. Would just like to know if it is possible.

Our bodies are incredibly complex. It's like learning English, there are always exceptions to the rule. So, saying that, If I had to guess I would say the probability of you having Cancer are infinitesimal. Most likely you are fine. If you are concerned though, and by writing this it shows you are, you need to be asking this to a doctor.

Im with Julianna... Have it checked out by your doctor. They can run blood test to find signs of ovarian cancer.

I myself am going in to have an ultra sound on one of my ovaries. During an exam my doctor found it was enlarge and it was very sore/tender to the touch. So.. Im kind of worried about what all it could be.. :-/

You can have cancer at any age. The ages they list are typical ages...certainly not set in stone. See a doctor if you are concerned!
