Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness Organization (USA) Endorses One Health Concept

“The Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness Organization (OCSA) www.ovariancancersymptomawareness.org applauds and endorses the collaborative and synergistic efforts of the One Health Initiative.   Our organizations share the mutual goals of advancing education, public awareness, and health for women in partnership with both the human and veterinary medical communities.”  

Each year, over 20,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and approximately 14,000 women die from the disease. There is an urgent need to share the silent symptoms so early detection and treatment are achieved, and lives are saved.
