EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest of gynecological cancers. It can happen to any woman at any age. Know your family’s medical history regarding cancer. Be aware of the above symptoms which are often vague and misdiagnosed.

TAKE ACTION:

See your doctor immediately. Request a pelvic/rectal exam, a transvaginal sonogram and a CA 125 blood test. Pap tests rarely detect ovarian cancer. If ovarian cancer is suspected, see a gynecological oncologist.
