Ovarian cancer still has the worst prognosis of all the gynaecological cancers, with a one year survival rate of 72% and a five year survival rate of 43%. However, contrary to popular belief, it is NOT a silent killer—most women are symptomatic, regardless of the stage at which they are diagnosed. Common symptoms include bloating and lower abdominal pain.
