September 2024 is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Like most cancers, ovarian cancer has better outcomes if it’s treated early. However, it’s tough to find ovarian cancer early because it often has no symptoms. In the U.S. alone, there are almost 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer each year — and more than 14,000 deaths. Ovarian cancer, which occurs when abnormal cells in the ovaries grow uncontrollably, is more common in white women — yet, Black women have lower survival Healthy

My “Small” Cancer Turned Out to Be Stage 4 Breast Cancer
As told to Jacquelyne Froeber October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. December is my birthday month. It was also the month I scheduled all my yearly health exams, including my mammogram.

Melanoma Rates Are Rising. How Can You Protect Yourself?
In the 1970s and ’80s, the smell of piña coladas wafted through the ocean breeze at every U.S. beach.
