In an excerpt of the news at Yahoo.
NOCC Announces Multiple New Programs to Raise Awareness, Facilitate Dialogue and Improve Survival Rates for Women With Ovarian Cancer September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) today announced the premiere of its national television and radio public service announcement (PSA) to educate women about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, the number one killer among women’s reproductive cancers. In addition, NOCC continues to “break the silence” through local educational events, a new partnership with hair care company, PureOlogy Serious Colour Care, and a window art display at New York’s Rockefeller Center. Eva LaRue, star of the hit television series CSI Miami and formerly of All My Children, is featured in the PSA to encourage women to start talking about ovarian cancer with their families, friends and doctors. Ms. LaRue lost both her grandmother and great-grandmother to ovarian cancer, which puts her at greater risk of the disease. The PSA will begin airing in September, which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a designation that NOCC helped initiate in 1998.
“Ovarian cancer is taking a devastating toll on thousands of women each year and too many are diagnosed too late. We need to start talking about ovarian cancer now in order to change that trend,” said LaRue. “I am honored to help NOCC continue its public education efforts to ‘break the silence’ in order to improve the odds for women with this disease today and in the future.”
Earlier this year NOCC launched “Break the Silence,” a national education program to facilitate greater awareness and dialogue about ovarian cancer in response to alarming results from their national survey that showed only 15 percent of women are familiar with the signs of the disease, and 82 percent have never talked to their doctors about the symptoms and risk factors. Yet, more than 20,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year, and more than 15,000 will die from the disease.
