Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer for which there are no current effective screening methods or tests, but research initiatives are under active investigation. Two-thirds of all cases are not found until the later stages. The five-year survival rate continues to improve and there are some long-term survivors among women who present with advanced stages.

Awareness is the key to early detection. Through health education and becoming aware of bodily changes, your chances for early diagnosis increase and possibly may save your life.  September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.  Please click on the link below for more information on the disease, events, and how you can get involved.
