Personal history of breast cancer
If you have had breast cancer, you also have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. There are several reasons for this. Some of the reproductive risk factors for ovarian cancer may also increase breast cancer risk. Also, if you have a strong family history of breast cancer, you may have inherited a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene You have a strong family history if one or more of your close relatives age 50 or younger has or had ovarian cancer.
