Ovarian Cancer
We chose to include Ovarian Cancer because new evidence has shown that many women do have symptoms of this disease before it has spread. We want you to know what the symptoms are.

The cure rate for Skin Cancer could be 100 percent if all skin cancers were brought to a doctor’s attention before they had a chance to spread.

IMPORTANT: The information on the cancer pages of this site was culled by the director of Self chec and initially reviewed by the folks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on the newest information from the national cancer advisory organizations, including, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society. We recognize that the national cancer advisory organizations sometimes do not agree about specific cancer guidelines, often making it confusing to the public about what to do. That is why we are asking you to err on the side of caution by always consulting a healthcare professional to advise you in the healthy choices you will make. Thank you.
