Each day in Australia four women are diagnosed wit

Each day in Australia four women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and the majority of them are over 40. With survival rates of only 46% and a recurrence rate of 75%, the key is to catch it early. But that’s easier said than done, says gynaecologist-oncologist Dr Rhonda Farrell, from the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

“Well, unfortunately, we don’t have a good screening tool yet,” she explains. “Hopefully we’ll have a test at some point, that’s the holy grail of ovarian cancer research.”

Ovarian cancer is the 10th most common cancer type

Ovarian cancer is the 10th most common cancer type for Australian women, with survival beyond five years after diagnosis at only 46%, it’s a disease that constantly requires improved education of the public. Specifically, to ensure we as women understand the early signs and symptoms, in order to ensure an earlier diagnosis and therefore better survival outcomes.

A recent poll by Pink Hope found that awareness of ovarian cancer signs and symptoms are low (around 50% of women admitted to not knowing the symptoms), and this lack of awareness can lead to confusion and fear, and all kinds of misconceptions.
