GYON Drs Nim Cabraal and Nisha Jagasia are the face of the Mater Ovarian Cancer Awareness month Campaign

Awareness is so important because Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent” cancer as symptoms are often subtle. Persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, and frequent urination are common signs. If these symptoms are new, ongoing, and unusual for you, see your doctor. Awareness and early action can save lives. 💙

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💚

Ovarian cancer symptoms are often subtle — which is why early detection matters.

As a Queensland leader in gynaecological oncology, Mater treats more than 150 women with ovarian cancer each year, delivering expert diagnosis, personalised treatment and compassionate care.

Backed by Mater Research – the state’s leading ovarian cancer research centre – our teams bring the latest evidence and innovative treatments straight to the bedside.

🩺💖 *Inherited Gynae Cancers* 💖🩺
Some gynaecological cancers, like ovarian and uterine cancer, can run in families due to inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1/2 or Lynch syndrome. Early detection and awareness can truly save lives.

At GYON, we are incredibly proud to care for and support so many strong women facing inherited gynae cancers — it's a privilege to be part of their journey. 💪🏽💗
