The theme of World Ovarian Cancer Day 2024 is ‘No Woman Left Behind'.
The day is a drive of the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition and is devoted to educating individuals about the side effects, risk elements, and prevention of this fatal disease.
Ovarian cancer is a term for a group of diseases that originate in the ovaries, fallopian tubes or peritoneum. There are approximately thirty types of ovarian cancer, each with different characteristics such as cell of origin and genetic mutations, making it a complex disease to treat.
The most commonly diagnosed ovarian cancers fall under the epithelial ovarian cancer subtype.
Ovarian cancer is the 7th most common cancer prevalent in women, and the 8th most common cause of death from cancer around the world.
TODAY, OVER 70% OF CASES ARE BEING DIAGNOSED IN THE LATE STAGE.
CURRENTLY, THE 5 YEAR SURVIVAL RATE IS JUST 49%.
The early diagnosis of ovarian cancer enhances the possibilities of survival for affected women. As opposed to cervical cancer, there is, as of now, no screening test for ovarian cancer.
