In the press
Following a
press launch to women's magazines in November attended by leading
health writers and hosted by Ovacome's patron Jenny Agutter,
Ovacome has placed symptoms awareness stories in many leading
titles this spring in order to reach as many women as possible with
the BEAT message.
The BEAT campaign was also endorsed by leading cancer
specialists Professor Mike Richards CBE, National Cancer Director,
who is responsible for advising the government on its cancer policy
in England, and Dr Sean Kehoe, of the John Radcliffe Hospital in
Oxford, who both spoke at our press event.
Professor Richards told the journalists: "I warmly welcome
Ovacome's BEAT symptoms awareness campaign. We know that public
awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer is currently low. I
very much hope that this campaign will lead to earlier diagnosis of
ovarian cancer, thereby saving women's lives."
