Dr. Oz's Break the Silence About Ovarian Cancer Campaign
Dr. Oz's Break the Silence About Ovarian Cancer Campaign
- Five warning signs of ovarian cancer
- Three tests for reproductive health
- Foods to reduce ovarian cancer risks
It's a silent killer of women – ovarian cancer. Too many women are dying because symptoms are ignored and misdiagnosed. Dr. Oz has launched a campaign to break the silence surrounding ovarian cancer.
Thirty-five percent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer had their symptoms ignored by their doctor. Partnering with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, Dr. Oz is taking his campaign on the road to educate women about the warning signs of ovarian cancer and providing an opportunity to have a low-cost, trans-vaginal ultra-sound.
Most women found that they didn't have any signs of ovarian cancer when viewed in the ultra sound. However a few women learned that they had cysts on their ovaries which required further investigation.
Today's Dr. Oz Show is a
repeat from September 13, 2012.
