Oncologist explains the subtle signs of ‘silent killer’ ovarian cancer

Each year in Ireland, over 600 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed and around 400 women die from this type of cancer annually.

There’s still a lot of misconceptions about ovarian cancer, such as women mistakenly believing cervical screening will prevent or detect it – it doesn’t. This is why it’s so important for women to be aware of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and to not ignore them.

Remember the most common symptoms: BEAT, which stands for:

• Bloating that doesn’t go away
• Eating and feeling fuller earlier
• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• Toilet – changes to your toilet habits that are new (passing urine or bowel issues)
