Supporting Ovarian Cancer Knowledge

Friday 8th of May is World Ovarian Cancer Day and less than one in three women feel confident that they would recognise the signs of ovarian cancer - they can be easily mistaken for other issues

Today on World Ovarian Cancer Day, individuals are encouraged to learn the symptoms, share the BEAT message and support efforts to improve awareness and education around ovarian cancer worldwide.

The INGO’s latest research highlights that less than one in three women (29%) feel confident they would recognise the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and only 2% of women are aware of the B.E.A.T acronym, which represents the key symptoms of ovarian cancer.

• Bloating that is persistent and doesn’t come and go
• Eating less and feeling full more quickly
• Abdominal and pelvic pain you feel most days
• Toilet changes in urination or bowel habits
