Ovarian cancer is a devastating disease that is often diagnosed in later stages where it has become incurable.
The disease is diagnosed in 7,000 women in the UK every year and two-thirds are diagnosed at a later stage, which makes treatment more difficult. It's been grimly labelled a 'silent killer' given the tendency for the warning signs to develop in later stages of disease, reports The Mirror.
Indeed, many GPs - 44 percent - mistakenly believe symptoms are only present in later stages, explains Target Ovarian Cancer. So how can women monitor the signs despite the odds?
