Family history and ovarian cancer?


Recently my doctor found a tumor in my ovary. Does having a family history of pancreatic, prostate, breast, and lung cancer make me more susceptible to have a cancerous tumor in my ovary even though my family members didn't have ovarian cancer?

Having a family history of breast cancer, especially if anyone was under 50 or if anyone is a male does put you at a higher risk. The other cancers do not.
