Claim: Due in part to the fact that there is no screening examination for early detection, ovarian cancer is the most malignant tumour of the female reproductive organs with 9,000 women newly affected each year.
Evidence: In 2012, new cases occurred in approximately 239,000 women. It is disproportionately deadly because it lacks any clear early detection or screening test, meaning most cases are not diagnosed until they have reached advanced stages.
