Healthy Living: Preventing Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer has been called the silent killer, because symptoms are often so subtle women don’t know they have it until the cancer is in a late, hard to treat stage.

In Healthy Living, we see how researchers across the country are enrolling women in a new trial that’s focusing on preventing the disease and some of the potential side effects.

Karen Ingalls was treated with surgery and chemo, and has had two cancer recurrences, but is currently in remission.

Dr. Romero says she and other researchers ultimately want to know if removing just the fallopian tubes will be enough to protect against ovarian cancer.
