March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and along with raising awareness, we want to encourage women to recognise the symptoms, understanding potential treatment options and feel empowered to take control of their health.
March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and an opportunity for us to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and its signs and symptoms. Ovarian cancer is a condition that affects thousands of women in the UK each year. It is the sixth most common cancer in women, with around 7,500 new cases diagnosed annually in the UK. As with most cancers, early detection is important because it can improve the chances of successful treatment. Although the symptoms of ovarian cancer can be easy to confuse with other conditions, being aware of the signs and risks can save lives.
Every year, on 4 February, the world comes together to observe World Cancer Day, a global initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Established in 2000, this day is an opportunity to raise awareness, educate people about cancer, and inspire individuals, organisations, and governments to take collective action against one of the world’s most significant health challenges. As we mark World Cancer Day 2025, the focus remains steadfast: empowering communities, enhancing global cooperation, and striving towards a world free of preventable cancer deaths.
