Screenings could cut deaths by nearly a quarter

SCREENING for ovarian cancer can cut deaths by more than a quarter, a major new study has revealed.

The cancer is the fifth most common in women - around 7,100 are diagnosed with it each year in Britain and it kills more than 4,000.
But because the symptoms of ovarian cancer can be similar to those of other conditions, it can be difficult to recognise and is often spotted too late.
Overall, 72 in 100 will live for at least one year after being diagnosed, around 46 out of 100 will live for at least five years and 35 out of 100 will live for at least 10 years.

But women with advanced ovarian cancer have a poorer survival rate. Six out of 10 will be dead within five years.
