When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent.

However, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms.

This year, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read, thousands of cakes were baked, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count… all with one aim in mind – to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.
