OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS: WHY IT MATTERS
Ovarian cancer is often called the silent killer because symptoms are vague and difficult to recognize. Unlike breast cancer, there is no reliable early screening test making awareness, education, and access to medical care absolutely critical.
Each year in the U.S., more than 22,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
It is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women.
When detected early, ovarian cancer survival rates can reach 90%, but most cases are found in later stages when treatment is less effective.
Southeast Texas women are especially vulnerable when they lack insurance or resources for timely medical care.
