Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month - March 2025

By

According to the charity, Ovarian Cancer Action, approximately 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year, with only 3 in 10 women living beyond 10 years after diagnosis.  In light of this, the charity launched Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place in March each year.  The campaign aims to raise awareness of ovarian cancer symptoms and statistics.
