Although it is not yet clear what type of tumor affected Kate Middleton, we know that it concerns the abdominal area and could therefore also be a gynecological tumor. The fact remains that there is already talk of the ‘Kate effect’: after the touching video in which the Princess of Wales talks about her tumor, Cancer Research UK has recorded over 200 thousand visitors on its information pages and there is talk of a surge in checks regarding the prevention of female cancers. In this interview, Sandro Pignatadirector of Uro-Gynecology – Irccs Fondazione G. Pascale Napoli, e Anna Fagottidirector of ovarian cancer at the A. Gemelli University Polyclinic Irccs, explain what the symptoms of ovarian cancer are and why prevention is important.
