Experts have outlined the key signs of ovarian cancer to look out for.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 18,518 new cases of ovarian cancer in 2020 (the last year data was available) and 13,438 women died from the horrific disease in the US. A recent study found: "The incidence of ovarian cancer has been increasing substantially among younger females, probably caused by the increasing prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, estrogen exposure and nulliparity."
Meanwhile, new research from Imperial College London has found why some women respond differently to treatment. The tumours of some women with high-grade serious ovarian cancer (HGSOC) contain a type of lymphoid tissue and its presence gives women a significantly better prognosis, reports The Mirror.
