Ovarian Cancer Awareness
Get the Facts. Recognize the Signs.
Ovarian Cancer is one of the most deadly of women's cancers. Each year, approximately 21,880 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In 2010, approximately 13,850 women will die in the United States from ovarian cancer. Many women don't seek help until the disease has begun to spread, but if detected at its earliest stage, the five-year survival rate is more than 93%. Recent research suggests that together the four symptoms of: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and urinary urgency or frequency may be associated with ovarian cancer.
The Massachusetts OvarianCancerAwareness.org Coalition is composed of:
Massachusetts Chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, Inc. (NOCC)
Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Education Network at MGH (OCEAN)
M. Patricia Cronin Foundation
These organizations have come together to work toward a common goal: increasing awareness of ovarian cancer.
In 2010, the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Coalition partnered with the Massachusetts InterscholasticAsthletic Association (MIAA) and Reebok to launch the Team Molly Campaign. This education effort bears the name of a very brave young woman and all-star athlete, Molly Eisenberg of Lexington, Massachusetts. Molly lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2009 at the age of 19. The Team Molly campaigns helps to create awareness about ovarian cancer throughout Massachusetts high schools. Athletic teams that sign up to participate in the program receive an awareness kit that included teal Team Molly sweat bands, teal shoe laces, informational hand cards and bumper stickers. Participating teams wore their teal Team Molly gear during the month of September for Ovarian Cancer Awareness month.
