Q: There are some risk factors for ovarian cancer, but anyone with ovaries can get ovarian cancer, even without any risk factors. The fact is that most women who get ovarian cancer were not at a high risk. Ovarian cancer almost always occurs in women who are middle-aged or older. Nearly ninety percent of women who develop ovarian cancer are over the age of 40, and the average age is about 60 years old. You are at a greater risk of developing ovarian cancer if someone in your family has had it, either on your mother or father's side. This might include your aunt, mother, or grandmother, or any other close female blood relative. In some cultures and generations, discussing cancer, especially cancers of the reproductive organs, may be taboo. If you think your family might not have told you about a family history of ovarian cancer, be sure to ask for information from family members who might know. Hereditary syndromes include Lynch Syndrome, which increases the risk of ovarian cancer along with breast, colon, endometrium, and other cancer syndromes. Other hereditary cause of ovarian cancer are mutations in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 this is the Breast-Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, and these mutations are under intense investigation by doctors and scientists as root causes of cancer. Certain medical conditions might put you at a greater risk of developing ovarian cancer. These include: if you have had breast, uterine, or colorectal cancer, or melanoma. if you have endometriosis. if you have taken estrogen by itself, without progesterone, for ten or more years; this can include Hormone Replacement Therapy. if you have a specific genetic mutation called BRCA1 or BRCA2, which is associated with Lynch Syndrome. There are other factors that seem to put women at a greater risk of developing ovarian cancer. These include: being Caucasian, especially from a North American, Northern European, or Ashkenazi Jewish background. never having had biological children. having been overweight during early adulthood.
A: Understand that ovarian cancer is unpredictable. Understand that risk increases with age. Learn about any family histories of cancer. Consider whether other medical complications or medications might put you at risk. Understand how your background might contribute to risk.

Article: After a season outside, they'll have mildew and dirt on them. Use warm water and a scrub brush to scrub dirt and debris from the stems until they're completely clean. The stems will be quite stiff, so a meat cleaver is a better tool for the job than a knife. Chop the stem into small sections, then chop those in half so you have a pile of small pieces of sugar cane. If you had a commercial sugar cane press, chopping the stems wouldn't be necessary. On large farms, juice is extracted from sugar cane using huge, heavy presses. There is no equivalent machine suitable for home use, so the chop-and-boil-method is used instead. The sugar is extracted through a long process of boiling the pieces down for about two hours. The sugar water is ready when it has the same flavor as a piece of raw sugar cane. You'll have to taste-test it to determine when it's ready. Another clue is to look at the sugar cane pieces. After a few hours, the color will turn to a light brown, which indicates the sugar has been extracted. Check the pot every half hour or so to make sure that the pieces are still covered with water; if not, add more. Use the strainer to catch all the fibrous pieces of sugar cane. You don't need these anymore, so you can discard them. Boil the sugar water until it cooks down significantly and takes on the texture of thick syrup. This can take anywhere from one to two hours, so be sure to monitor the pot to make sure you don't overcook it. To test whether the syrup is ready, dip a cold spoon in the pot and check the texture. If you like your syrup on the thin side, you can remove it from heat when it still easily slides from the back of the spoon. For thicker syrup, remove it from heat when it coats the back of the spoon instead of slipping right off. Place a lid on the jar and allow the syrup to cool completely before storing it in a cool, dry place.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Scrub the stems. Chop the stems into one-inch sections. Boil the sugar cane pieces in a large stockpot filled with water. Pour the sugar water through a strainer into a smaller pot. Cook down the sugar water to turn it into syrup. Pour the syrup into a glass canning jar.
