Last I checked, one reason it's so deadly is that there is no warning until it reached an advanced stage.

Ovarian cancer can be related to the BRCA gene, which most people think of as causing only breast cancer. This is not true. BRCA (both -1 and -2) can cause ovarian cancer, whether breast cancer is involved or not.

With a close relative developing ovarian cancer, I hope Chrissy Evert (and her female relatives--although men can have it and develop breast cancer) have been tested for BRCA. I'm sure she has, given what a high-profile person she is, but it's worthwhile for any woman who has a lot of breast/ovarian cancer in her family tree to be tested. I speak from experience.
