Locals looking for a greater awareness of two of the most common cancers among women are invited to attend a talk at Solihull Hospital next week.

With ovarian cancer being the nation’s most common gynaecological cancer and around eight women diagnosed with cervical cancer each day; Solihull Hospital consultant gynaecologist, Raj Saha, will be giving Silhillions the chance to learn what to look out for and ask any questions about these conditions.

Mr Saha says: “The stage at which both ovarian and cervical cancer is diagnosed plays an important part in determining the outlook for women with the disease.  If diagnosed early, the effectiveness of treatment will usually be very good and a complete cure is often possible.  Anyone who wants to learn more about these conditions  is welcome to come along to this free event at the Hospital..”

The health talk is taking place on Thursday 24 October at 5pm in the Education Centre at Solihull Hospital. To book your place or to find out details of the Hospital’s future health seminars, contact Sandra White on 0121 424 1218 or email sandra.white@heartofengland.nhs.uk.
