		<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, a recent study has shown a direct link between health insurance status and timely cancer diagnosis and cancer deaths.  The study showed that people who are either uninsured or rely on Medicaid as their insurance carrier are much more likely to have their cancers diagnosed at an advanced, and often untreatable stage.  Sadly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect in the early stages, when the possibility of a cure is high.  Symptoms are vague, and in far too many cases, ovarian cancer isn&#8217;t diagnosed until it is too late, making it the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women.

		<description><![CDATA[Ovarian cancer is a frightening disease.  Difficult to detect on typical gynecologic exams, and often asymptomatic until the advanced stages, ovarian cancer is frequently detected too late.
