WHO: The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative will announce the local availability of a screening tool for ovarian cancer.
WHAT: Ovarian cancer is often difficult to detect until it has already advanced to later stages. This screening tool has accurately detected 85.8 percent of ovarian cancers by comparing a patient’s blood marker profile to known profiles of women with and without ovarian cancer.
WHEN: 1 p.m., Friday, May 6.
WHERE: Atrium in front of Genesis Cancer Care Institute, 1351 West Central Park, Genesis Medical Center.
MEDIA NOTE: Two Quad Cities women will have blood drawn for testing their risk of developing ovarian cancer or the presence of ovarian cancer.
