For the majority of women, there are no effective methods to screen for ovarian cancer. Memorial Sloan-Kettering experts discuss how important it is for women to carefully monitor any changes that occur in their bodies that might be symptoms of ovarian cancer. The four most common symptoms of ovarian cancer are bloating; pelvic or abdominal pain; difficulty eating or feeling full quickly; and urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency).

Biological Diversity of Ovarian Cancer Lessens Value of Screening
Until recently, ovarian cancer has been regarded as a single disease. But studies at Duke and elsewhere have shown that it has at least two distinct subtypes, a slow-growing, indolent form, which takes months to years to move into an advanced stage, and a more aggressive variety driven by key gene mutations that gallops through stages I and II in about half that time. Duke scientists say that incorporating the latest info about the biological diversity of ovarian cancer appears to lessen the potential of scCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* Dec 29, 2010 -

Ovarian cancer: The facts and a new tool in detection
The RI Cancer Council (RICC) reports that women in Rhode Island have an 8.6 percent greater chance of getting cancer than women in other parts of the country. Ovarian cancer makes up only four percent of cancer cases, yet is the fifth most common form of cancer in women and it is the most deadly of all gynecological cancers, primarily because it is not diagnosed in its early stages. Among female cancer patients in RI, it is the fourth highest killer. Risk factors for ovarian cancer are in women who: have aCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* Jul 18, 2010 -

Blood Test Could Save Lives From Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is hard to diagnose because the symptoms are vague: bloating, swollen abdomen, abdominal pain. But a new blood test may be changing all that. "It saved my life because you rarely find ovarian cancer at the stage 1C," Liz Stegall said. But Stegall did find it through a blood test -- one she took only after her friend died of ovarian cancer. "I just can't help but believe that in some way, she's given back to me," Stegall said. In the two months before that blood test, a gastroenterologist dCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* May 22, 2010 -

It was too easy for Lisa Williams to ignore the signs something was wrong. "I started having some abdominal discomfort, thought I was irregular," she said.

"I woke up in the hospital room and heard my father say 'it's malignant but don't tell her,'" said Williams. Doctors had removed a cancerous ovarian tumor the size of a grapefruit.
