Dr. Heidi Gray on Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

By HARRY C. EDWARDS | Published: APRIL 26, 2013

Earlier this week Dr. Heidi Gray, a gynecologic oncologist at SCCA, was interviewed on KIXI’s Chat With Women about the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has been long thought to be a silent killer whose symptoms are non-existent. Dr. Gray, however, points out that most women who have ovarian cancer do have symptoms, it’s just that they are “vague” and often confused with something else. In the interview Dr. Gray spells out what women should watch for and also speaks to treatment options for patients who have been diagnosed with ovarian and other gynecologic cancers. You can listen to Dr. Gray’s interview here (it’s in the “Chat With Women 04-23-13” archive—Dr. Gray’s segment starts at 32:00 minutes).

For more information about the symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer, see the SCCA website.

I met Dr. Heidi Gray in October of 2009. She has kept me alive! My deepest gratitude to her, her nurses and staff at the SCCA and The University of Washington Medical Center.
