Ovarian cancer is frequently labeled a 'silent killer,' but Dr. Vandana Jain, Sr. Consultant & Head of Department of Gynaecologic Oncology at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre, clarifies that its symptoms are often subtle and easily overlooked. Common early signs include persistent abdominal bloating, early satiety, pelvic pain, changes in bowel habits, and increased urinary frequency. These symptoms may seem minor, but their persistence should raise concern. The misconception that ovarian cancer is silent contributes to delayed diagnoses, as many women do not seek medical advice in a timely manner. Contrary to popular belief, treatment options are available even in advanced stages of the disease, thanks to ongoing advancements in oncology. Additionally, there is an emerging trend of ovarian cancer cases in younger women, underscoring the need for heightened awareness. Beyond physical symptoms, the emotional toll of the disease is profound, highlighting the importance of support systems for patients. On World Ovarian Cancer Day, Dr. Jain emphasizes the significance of recognizing early symptoms and maintaining hope, as many patients can lead fulfilling lives post-diagnosis.
