Ovarian cancer is often labelled as a "silent killer" due to warning signs usually developing when the disease has reached an advanced stage.
More than 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year in the UK. Charity Target Ovarian Cancer claims if diagnosed at the earliest stage nine in 10 women will survive, however two thirds of women are diagnosed late - when the cancer is harder to treat.
Dr Frankie Jackson-Spencer added: "Ovarian cancer often goes undiagnosed until it reaches the late stage due to its symptoms being vague and often overlapping with common/less serious conditions."
