Bloating and Other Abdominal Symptoms: Could it be Ovarian Cancer?

Target Ovarian Cancer logo

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.

This course was developed in partnership with Target Ovarian Cancer.

This course is FREE to all healthcare professionals in the UK.

Pancreatic Cancer: Early Diagnosis in General Practice

3D Illustration of Human Body Organs Pancreas


Patients frequently present to general practice with a range of undifferentiated symptoms that may or may not signify serious disease.

This course helps GPs to make sense of the early symptoms that could be explained by pancreatic cancer. Using video-based scenarios, it reviews the patterns of symptoms that emerge over time, which can suggest a serious underlying diagnosis, and sets out an approach that GPs can take to ensure appropriate and timely investigation and follow-up in cases of diagnostic uncertainty.

Pancreatic cancer is more prevalent than is often recognised and earlier detection of symptoms will improve outcomes for patients.

This course has been developed in partnership with Pancreatic Cancer Action.
