�During National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we remember those whose lives have been unnatural by this deadly disease, and we underscore our commitment to battling ovarian cancer for the sake of women around the world.
Each year, thousands of American women ar diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Many volition lose their lives to this disease. Because ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, it is vital for women to make regular visits to their doctors for screenings and to discuss endangerment factors and warning signs. Early detecting is the best way to help doctors diagnose cancer in front it has a opportunity to spread. It also makes intervention more effective and increases the chances for selection. I encourage all women to learn more about preventive measures and cover options that may help to salvage their lives.
America leads the human beings in medical research, and my Administration remains consecrate to the fight against ovarian cancer. I signed the "Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act of 2005," or "Johanna's Law," that helps to evoke awareness among women and health care providers some female procreative cancers. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are conducting important research to help oneself make the innovative advances we need in order to carry off this disease. NIH's Cancer Genome Atlas is besides helping researchers gain a greater reason of the genetic sources of cancer. Together, we will go on building on our onward motion until in that location is a cure for cancer.
As we observe National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we honor those who have fought this disease. We also spot the sympathize with caregivers, doctors, and researchers who are dedicated to preventing, detection, and treating ovarian cancer the Crab.
