"I would like to congratulate the four charities involved on their combined efforts in providing a cohesive central portal of information on the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Driving early diagnosis for all cancers is a key part of our strategy for improving survival rates in the UK. Symptom awareness is part of this. These individual charities play increasingly important but different roles in raising awareness, informing and supporting women with this disease, and funding vital research, and I welcome this unique collaboration."
Professor Sir Mike Richards, National Cancer Director

“Listening to the women and their families who we support through treatment for their ovary cancer, a clear message emerges; increased awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer (both within primary healthcare and in the public domain) will enable women to be diagnosed correctly earlier. The National Forum of Gynaecological Oncology Nurses champions the work done through the charities, highlighted through this awareness campaign."
Dr Tracie Miles, President National Forum of Gynaecological Oncology Nurses

"Since the death of my wife, Vicky, from ovarian cancer I have been passionate about bringing ovarian cancer up the political, charity and public agenda. She, like I, would have been enormously pleased to see the charities working together on this most important issue - symptom awareness."
Lord Clement-Jones, Vice-Chair of the APPG on Ovarian Cancer
