The fifth most common cancer in women, ovarian cancer is often called "the disease that whispers" due to the vagueness of the signs and symptoms which accom pany it. With no early detection test, most women are diagnosed in the later stages of the disease and 60 per cent will not survive past five years. For this reason, ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly cancers to strike women. While the statistics sur rounding this disease are bleak, when it is diag nosed in the earliest stages, the long-term survival rate is at least 90 per cent. The Listen to the Whispers seminar has been pre sented to more than 40,000 people since its launch in September 2000. It is funded by the Women's Health Council Secretariat of Ontario and the McCain Foundation. The National Ovarian Cancer Association is dedicated to overcoming ovarian cancer; providing leadership by supporting women living with the dis ease and their families; raising awareness in the general public and with health care professionals; and funding research to develop reliable early detection techniques, improved treatments and ulti mately, a cure.
