In the absence of effective screening, "appropriate clinical suspicion" of the signs and symptoms of the ovarian cancer is currently the best strategy to detect the disease. To reduce the diagnostic interval, several countries have implemented referral guidelines and organizational changes. Most of these guidelines suggest that individuals presenting with symptoms indicative of cancer (alarm symptoms) should be urgently referred to specialized investigative trajectories. However, many studies worldwide have shown that public awareness levels of ovarian cancer are poor, therefore women are often diagnosed at late stages when treatment is difficult. Our findings demonstrate that the overall level of recognition of risk factors and symptoms of ovarian cancer among women in the UAE is indeed low and within a critical level. Thus, strengthening education among women with regards to risk factors, early symptoms, and the need to seek early medical will be helpful in increasing ovarian cancer awareness and reducing the delay in diagnosis.
