OVARIAN cancer is often referred to as the 'silent killer'. In 85 per cent of cases, the disease has spread to other parts of the body before patients have any symptoms, such as persistent bloating and continual abdominal pains. If the disease is caught early, more than nine out of ten patients will survive for at least five years. But if it has started to spread, this drops to less than one in ten. Overall survival rates are low, with around 36 per cent of patients alive after five years (breast cancer is 81 per cent). In a major report on women's health issues published last week, Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, highlighted this, saying that deaths from ovarian cancer were still 'stubbornly high' and a national audit to improve outcomes for patients was 'long overdue'.
