Bloating, back pain and tiredness are signs of the sixth deadliest cancer for women.
With 7,500 new cases diagnosed in the UK each year, ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer among women, according to Cancer Research UK. Roughly three in 10 people live a decade or more after being diagnosis.
Early detection means the cancer is more treatable. Caught early, 93% of people survive five years or more after diagnosis, falling to 13% when ovarian cancer is diagnosed in the later stages. But only one in 10 women know the main symptoms of ovarian cancer, according to Ovarian Cancer Action.
