摘要

Late presentation of ovarian cancer continues to pose a major challenge, as the disease typically manifests with vague and misattributed symptoms. Public awareness initiatives have sought to address this through the use of succinct, symptom-based messaging. The BEAT acronym – Bloating, Eating difficulties, Abdominal pain, Toilet changes – has been developed as a public health tool to promote symptom recognition and timely action in ovarian cancer. Its origins are considered in the context of health communication strategies that also employ acronym-based tools, with lessons drawn from the success of the FAST campaign for stroke awareness. International and national approaches to ovarian cancer awareness, including community partnerships, social media campaigns, and visual public engagement, are also discussed herein. Such initiatives reveal the considerable reach and engagement possible through coordinated awareness campaigns, emphasising their potential to catalyse earlier presentation and diagnosis in ovarian cancer.
