Recurrence

The cancer comes back. (Remember that dandelion?) We learn that recurrence is a common feature of ovarian cancer because early detection is so difficult and there is no way to screen for it. But asking the question ‘why can’t we see it coming?’ leads me on a journey to learn more about - not the ovaries - but the fallopian tubes, and new innovations to try and get ahead of this cancer. This episode features: Dr James Bentley from Nova Scotia Health. Alison Ross, Director of Knowledge Mobilization at Ovarian Cancer Canada. Jennifer Barton, Director of the Bio5 Institute at the University of Arizona. For more background on this episode, go to https://overlookedpod.com/, where you can also get in touch with us.

Om Podcasten

Immersive personal stories and conversations about women's health. Overlooked is an award-winning women’s health podcast, hosted by journalist Golda Arthur. In this podcast, we ask, what has been most overlooked, and where is the inequality felt more deeply? The mission of Overlooked is to empower women by helping them advocate better for themselves, and we do this by featuring immersive personal storytelling, and in-depth conversations about women’s health. Overlooked began as a series about ovarian cancer, told through the story of Golda's mother, Teresa. After that first season, the show broadened its focus to look at other topics and stories about women's health, including menopause, endometriosis, motherhood, and survivorship.
