Early Detection

The American Cancer Society estimates that 20,890 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer in 2025. 1 in 91 woman are at risk for ovarian cancer in their lifetime.

Ovarian cancer is known as the "silent killer," in that many woman do not recognize the signs until the cancer is quite advanced.  Early symptoms may be mild:

  • Bloating
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
  • Feeling full

A pap smear does not detect ovarian cancer and no screening test has been developed. To see what is recommended to detect ovarian cancer, please visit the National Ovarian Cancer Coalitions website. Early detection improves survival rates and can save a life!!

Spread Awareness

Stef Ripple will promote awareness and early detection of ovarian cancer through this website, social media and fundraising events.  You can help spread awareness too by sharing the symptoms of ovarian cancer with others, sharing our website and wearing TEAL!
