In recent times, medical professionals are constantly acquiring enhanced diagnostic and treatment abilities by implementing deep learning models to analyze medical data for better clinical decision, disease diagnosis and drug discovery. A majority of cancers are studied and treated by incorporating these technologies. However, ovarian cancer remains a dilemma as it has inaccurate non-invasive detection procedures and a time consuming, invasive procedure for accurate detection. Thus, in this research, several Convolutional Neural Networks such as LeNet-5, ResNet, VGGNet and GoogLeNet/Inception have been utilized to develop 15 variants and choose a model that accurately detects and identifies ovarian cancer. For effective model training, the dataset OvarianCancer&amp;SubtypesDatasetHistopathology from Mendeley has been used. After constructing a model, we utilized Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) models such as LIME, Integrated Gradients and SHAP to explain the black box outcome of the selected model. For evaluating the performance of the model, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, ROC Curve and AUC have been used. From the evaluation, it was seen that the slightly compact InceptionV3 model with ReLu had the overall best result achieving an average score of 94% across all the performance metrics in the augmented dataset. Lastly for XAI, the three aforementioned XAI have been used for an overall comparative analysis. It is the aim of this research that the contributions of the study will help in achieving a better detection method for ovarian cancer.</summary>\n    <category scheme='http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom' term='cs.AI'/>\n    <category scheme='http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom' term='cs.CV'/>\n    <published>2026-03-12T11:26:29Z</published>\n    <arxiv:comment>Accepted and published at ICAIC 2025.
