 It's #OvarianCancer awareness month and each year 7,400 woman are diagnosed with #ovariancancer in the UK.
Women over the age of 50 have a higher risk, and most cases of ovarian cancer occur in women who have already gone through the menopause.
80–85 per cent of ovarian cancer cases are one-offs. This means that if you have a close female relatives with ovarian cancer this does not mean that you are more likely to develop it.
The remaining 15–20 per cent of cases are believed to be caused by an inherited faulty (or mutated) gene.

 A new cervical cancer screening campaign has launched.
Help Us Help You aims to highlight the benefits of cervical screening and to remind people that it can help stop cancer before it starts.
Two women die every day from cervical cancer in England. Yet it is one of the most preventable cancers and getting screened can help stop it before it starts.
Screening checks for certain types of the HPV virus that can cause cell changes to your cervix. Cell changes are easily treated and this prevents cervical cancer.
