Maybe a little more research is needed?

Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women in the UK, with about 6,800 new cases each year. Most ovarian cancers affect women after their menopause; half occur over the age of 65 (Macmillan Cancer Support).
Ian Jacobs, a professor of gynaecological oncology, explains that the symptoms tend to be vague and non-specific and are common to many other, less serious, conditions, and that most women with these symptoms turn out not to have cancer. Other symptoms include loss of appetite; nausea; unexplained weight change; pain in the lower abdomen or back; abnormal vaginal bleeding; pain during sex; changes in bowel or bladder habit such as constipation or diarrhoea, and breathlessness.
