Risk factors include family history, the BRCA gene mutation, never having children or having children later in life and also a woman’s age. The average age for a diagnosis of ovarian cancer is 61. “Other than that it’s hard to predict who’s going to get ovarian cancer, but there’s several ways that we have now to reduce the risk,” said gynecologist Dr. Emilio Juncosa said. Caffeine, sugar and milk may cause insulin levels to spike which studies suggest could cause acne flare-ups.
