Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer - presentation by Dr Takhar at Bushey Spire hospital GP masterclass 17th March 2010. Aimed at GPs, the presentation focuses on the early symptoms of ovarian cancer in women over 50 - abdominal distension ( persisting bloating that does not come and go), abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Many older women are not familiar with the importance of these symptoms if they persist more than a couple of weeks. The symptoms overlap with those of bowel disorders.New blood tests are being developed such as Ovplex which will help doctors diagnose this condition more promptly in the future.
