Young women, late diagnoses: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center urges greater awareness of ovarian cancer across the Gulf
New research shows how inherited genetics vary across populations and can influence which cancers a woman develops and how they respond to treatment
ABU DHABI, DUBAI, RIYADH, DOHA, 8 May 2026. On World Ovarian Cancer Day, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), one of the world’s leading cancer centers, is urging women and families across the Gulf region to prioritize early evaluation for ovarian cancer. In the Gulf, women tend to be diagnosed with cancer at a younger age than in Western countries, with peak female cancer incidence falling between 40 and 60 years, compared to a global median ovarian cancer diagnosis age of 63.[1] For a disease where catching it early can mean the difference between a strong chance of survival and a slim one, that earlier window matters enormously.
Ovarian cancer is one of the hardest cancers to detect early. Its symptoms, including bloating, pelvic discomfort, and changes in appetite, are easily attributed to other causes. Globally, around two-thirds of cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV, when the disease has already spread. As specialist gynaecologic oncology services continue to develop across the Gulf, access to internationally recognised centres remains an important option for patients with complex or advanced disease.
“When ovarian cancer is caught early, survival rates are dramatically higher,” said Nadeem R. Abu-Rustum, Chief of the Gynecologic Service at MSK. “The challenge is building the awareness and access that make early detection possible, and that starts with women feeling confident to raise their concerns with a doctor.”

مركز ميموريال سلونكيترنغلعلاج السرطان يدعو إلى تعزيز الوعي بسرطان المبيض في دول الخليج التشخيص المبكر للنساء في عمر صغير – أبحاث جديدة تُظهر اختلاف الجينات الموروثة بين الشعوب، مما قد يؤثر على أنواع السرطانات التي تصاب بها المرأة و استجابتها للعلاج
الرياض، أبو ظبي، دبي، الرياض، الدوحة – 8 مايو 2026
بمناسبة اليوم العالمي لسرطان المبيض، يدعو مركز ميموريال سلون كيترنغ لعلاج السرطان، وأحد أبرز مراكز علاج السرطان في العالم، النساء في دول الخليج إلى إعطاء الأولوية للفحص المبكر لسرطان المبيض. في دول الخليج، يتم تشخيص النساء بالسرطان في أعمار أصغر مقارنة بالدول الغربية، حيث يتراوح العمر لتشخيص سرطان المبيض لدى النساء بين سن 40 و60 عاماً، مقارنة بمتوسط عالمي يبلغ 63 عاماً. وبالنسبة لمرض يعتمد فيه النجاح العلاجي بشكل كبير على اكتشاف المرض باكراً، يمثل ذلك أهمية بالغة.
يُعد سرطان المبيض من أصعب أنواع السرطان التي ممكن اكتشافها باكراً. فالأعراض، مثل الانتفاخ وعدم الارتياح في منطقة الحوض وتغير الشهية، غالباً ما تُعزى إلى أسباب أخرى.
