Ovarian Cancer Awareness
Get the Facts. Recognize the Signs.
Ovarian Cancer is one of the most deadly of women's cancers. Each year, approximately 22,880 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In 2012, approximately 15,550 women will die in the United States from ovarian cancer. Many women don't seek help until the disease has begun to spread, but if detected at its earliest stage, the five-year survival rate is more than 93%. Recent research suggests that together the four symptoms of: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and urinary urgency or frequency may be associated with ovarian cancer.
The Massachusetts OvarianCancerAwareness.org Coalition is composed of:
Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center
The M. Patricia Cronin Foundation to Fight Ovarian Cancer
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health
These organizations have come together to work toward a common goal: increasing awareness of ovarian cancer.
September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. The Massachusetts Ovarian Cancer Awareness coalition is working to increase awareness of this disease.
On Thursday, September 20, 2012, at 12:00 PM EST the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Coalition will be hosting a 60-minute informational and interactive webcast about ovarian cancer. The webcast will focus on getting the facts and knowing the signs of ovarian cancer as well as treatment and research. During the webcast we will be talking to doctors from the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center in Boston as well as taking live questions from viewers.
