    The Ovarian Cancer Foundation's sounding the alarm about our least survivable women's cancer

    The Ovarian Cancer Foundation's sounding the alarm about our least survivable women's cancer


    Its new report reveals gaps in our approach to ovarian cancer - at all stages.

    It notes we averaged more than 300 diagnoses a year - and a woman dies every 48 hours.

    General manager Liz Pennington says a fundamental issue is many falsely think a cervical smear also covers ovarian cancer.

    She says it may lead people to think they're okay if they have a clear result - so it's important they know the signs and symptoms.
