COMMENTS: Everyday Warning Signs
All three networks responded to the publication of a list of symptoms that could facilitate lifesaving early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. CBS had anchor Katie Couric file a report--"bloating, feeling full quickly, abdominal pain and frequent or urgent urination," were the warning signs--while NBC and ABC checked in with their in-house physicians. The problem with the list, noted NBC's Nancy Snyderman, is that "they include things that women experience every day." So she emphasized the "duration of the symptoms" as the key to raising concern. ABC's Timothy Johnson (no link) felt the need to reassure women that "the vast majority" with these symptoms "do not have ovarian cancer."
