We knew this already, we also know that the companies who make the treatments are only concerned with making money, they don't want a cure that want patients

The symptoms are vague such as fatigue and bloating. If you have a family history, you can get genetic testing to see if you have a higher chance of getting the cancer, but you can still get ovarian cancer without the gene mutation.

For breast cancer, there is self exams and mammograms. For cervical cancer, there is the PAP test. What routine screening test exists for cervical cancer?
-
There is the BRCA testing that detects mutations on the genes that lead to breast cancer and cervical cancer. It's recommended for all women with any family history starting in their 20s

What I meant was that there is no reliable screening test to detect ovarian cancer in its early stages. (Such as PAP for cervical cancer or mammogram for breast cancer.) When such a test is developed and routinely done, more lives will be saved. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/ovarian-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/detection.html …

Gilda Radner died almost 30 years ago from ovarian cancer. Gene Wilder tried to raise awareness. And yet here we are, a time when there is a shot to prevent cervical cancer, but women die quicker from ovarian cancer and can't even get diagnosed promptly.
