Cancer researchers have identified four chromosome locations with genetic changes that are likely to alter a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer. Researchers say that while more needs to be learned about the function of the specific chromosomal regions involved in susceptibility, the discoveries move them a major step closer to individualized risk assessments for ovarian cancer.
