Why this silent cancer flies under the radar

Ovarian cancer is a silent scourge in Australia. Most people know little about it, there aren’t any tests you can do to detect it early, and that means 70% of women and gender diverse people diagnosed with it catch it late. Ovarian cancer has a 49% five year survival rate, whereas breast cancer by contrast has a 92% survival rate.

In this episode of The Briefing, producer Simon Beaton speaks with Bridget Bradhurst, the Acting Chief National Ovarian Cancer Advocacy & Support Services to find out why ovarian cancer is such an overlooked disease.

Headlines:

A vigil has been held for Jesse Baird and Luke Davies

Stage Three tax cuts pass parliament

Hamas and Israel pour cold water on ceasefire

South east braces for catastrophic fire day
