Of the almost 1,400 women surveyed, 96% could not identify a combination of the most common symptoms of the disease. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal of gynecologic cancers and a disease that kills over 60% of those diagnosed. U welcomed Sylvia organization, Rainbows helps The program is used in schools, Other findings include: o 1 2% of women claim to have never heard of ovarian cancer; - One in three women believe a Pap test screens for ovarian cancer, which is untrue; - Women at higher risk for ovarian cancer due to age (50+) are significantly less likely to be aware of ovarian cancer than younger women. 9 These findings are worrisome because there is no screening test for ovarian cancer, and women and their physicians must rely on symptoms to bring the disease to their attention. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, swelling of the abdomen or bloating, changes in urinary frequency, weight loss or gain, and nausea.
