Whether it will consider undertaking a campaign to raise public awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Through the Detect Cancer Early programme, the Scottish Government aims to increase the proportion of cancers that are detected at the earliest stages and includes increasing awareness of the symptoms of ovarian Cancer.
Our social marketing strategy and the latest ‘Survivors’ campaign aims to reduce fear of all cancer, which we know remains a key barrier to people presenting early and encourage those with any unusual or persistent changes to their body to visit their GP practice.
This is supported by our ‘Getcheckedearly’ website which has an ovarian cancer specific page with case studies and links to Target Ovarian Cancer and Cancer Research UK.
As March is ovarian cancer awareness month we would encourage any women with any potential signs of ovarian cancer to contact their GP practice.
