My mother just passed away with ovarian cancer and I believe it is extremely difficult to detect in its early stages. The most common earlier symptom is a bloated lower abdomen and when the woman goes to her GP because of the bloatedness, typically it has been 3-4 weeks of feeling bloated by which time the cancer has already progressed.
