Today is World Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day (World Ovarian Cancer Coalition (worldovariancancercoalition.org/about-us/)) World awareness days in general are commercially sponsored events. Much of the time, there is an underlying real root problem. Ovarian cancer is a real problem, that breaks me, bit by bit, week by week. Unlike cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer, it does not result in symptoms (like bleeding, pain) at very early stages, and is more often diagnosed at later stages. Unlike cervical cancer, international efforts to develop effective screening tests - that result in more good than harm overall - have so far largely failed. There are emerging technologies that might change screening for ovarian cancer, but they are not proven yet. The mitigation strategy for the failure to discover a useful screening test is early symptomatic diagnosis. It is the best we can do. The sooner ovarian cancer is diagnosed, the earlier the stage, the better. More treatment options, better long term outcomes. Why ovarian cancer causes normal life, out of the blue, to go sideways: As ovarian cancers grow, they take up more and more space in the pelvis, they can cause a build up of fluid causing swelling and weight gain, and it can paralyse the bowel. This can feel like bloating more than expected, a lack or appetite, feeling full after eating little, or nausea (feeling sick), abdominal pain, particularly cramping pains that tend to come in waves, and constipation. Bowels not right. Unusual bowel/abdominal problems that persist for more than a week, for example. BEAT If anything like that happens, get it checked. At any age, but most commonly 50-70. In general, if it is unusual, and persistent, anything changing faster than normal, trust your instinct. breakthroughcancerresearch.ie/news/wocd-2026/

World ovarian cancer day is tomorrow May 8th. Know the signs and know what is normal for you #WOCD26 #BEAT

Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay There is no screening for #ovariancancer #BEAT reflects some of the common symptoms and if any of these are persistent please get it checked out. @thisisgo_ie

Gutted to miss event @Shotoole81 However Im proud to have collaborated with @thisisgo_ie. Grateful to share my lived experience and highlight why knowing the #BEAT symptoms of #OvarianCancer is vital. @publichealthni @ovacare @Ovacome @TargetOvarian #cancerawareness 🩵📢

Can synthetic data improve healthcare and still protect your privacy? @IHI_SYNTHIA invites citizens across Europe to share their views in a new survey co designed with patients. Your input makes a difference. Take part 👉 bit.ly/4c7if0o #PatientEngagement

Do you know what increases ovarian cancer risk? 🔹 Age 🔹 Family history 🔹 BRCA1/2 or other mutations 🔹 Jewish Eastern European ancestry 🔹 HRT use 🔹 Endometriosis 🔹 Never pregnant Many have no risk—so learning the symptoms is key. @OvCancerDay #OvarianCancer #NoWomanLeftBehind #WOCD2025

Join us in @DundrumTC on Fri 8th to mark #WorldOvarianCancerDay @WOCCnews and find out more about #BEAT symptoms @thisisgo_ie

OvaCare was delighted to donate banner pens to @TerenureCollege Ladies Lunch and raise awareness of #GynaeCancers

Delighted to hear from Dr Emily Harrold, Co‑Director, Young Onset Cancer Programme, and Nicola Keohane, Young Onset Cancer Coordinator at @CancerInstIre, speaking at the International Cancer Conference. Starting a powerful and insightful session.

We were delighted to have you @DrJNaidoo speak today, a privilege to showcase the @CancerCentreIre #LungHealthCheck. A great event with amazing speakers. @CancerInstIRE are very grateful to everyone involved, congratulations to the @tcddublin @stjamesdublin teams making it happen

This should be a highlight in a great programme @tcddublin @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin

Earlier today, the @HSELive approved the reimbursement of dostarlimab with chemotherapy for the first line treatment of advanced endometrial cancer that is MisMatchRepair protein deficient (dMMR). Thank you to everyone at the HSE who was involved in making this decision. It has been some time since standard-of-care treatment for advanced endometrial cancer was available publicly in Ireland, outside of free drug supply schemes from pharmaceutical companies. As of the 1/4/26, I can retire my automatic first question of "Do you have insurance" in these cases, and instead check the pathology report first. Thank you @hseNCCP, @Tony_CanavanHSE, @CcoHse, @HSELive , @INFO_NCPE and specifically the HSE Drugs Group, who make some of the toughest decision in public expenditure that are to be made these days.

Today CLuB PhD candidate @Kris_Belenyesi gave a presentation based on his PhD titled 'Harnessing the biomarker potential of extracellular vesicles in liquid biopsies’. clubcancer.ie/news-events/ph… @tcddublin
