About Ovarian Cancer:
Ovarian Cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. This year in the US, ~20,000 individuals will be diagnosed with the disease. Because there is no early detection test or routine screening, only 15% of ovarian cancer is diagnosed in the earliest stages when chances of a good outcome are high. There are symptoms associated with ovarian cancer but they are not commonly known. Ovarian cancer affects females of all ages. The need for awareness, education, and effective screening and treatment are critically needed.
