The notion that ovarian cancer is a “silent killer” without early warning signs has changed.

The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation has announced a national consensus on symptoms for ovarian cancer. Symptoms that women should consider as warning signs include: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and frequent or urgent urination. If women have these symptoms daily over the course of several weeks they should consult with a gynecologist about them, particularly if the symptoms are new or unusual.

This PBS medical series explores illnesses one at a time and features a panel of physicians and other experts assessing individual cases.

One of the deadliest forms of cancer, ovarian cancer is also one of the few cancers through which genetic testing can determine a person’s susceptibility. This episode explores the challenges faced by a woman balancing the opportunity to know her genetic profile with only limited diagnostic testing and sometimes radical treatment options available.
