KEHA 3 for 3 Membership Challenge KEHA has launched a new membership game plan with the goal to increase membership by 1,000 members by January 1, 2019. Each county is challenged to increase membership by at least 3 members each year for the next 3 years (from 2016 through 2018)! We will plan our recruiting strategy at our next council meeting so we can have a net game of 3 members this year. KEHA Ovarian Cancer Program The Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association (KEHA) and local area businesses throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky are partners supporting ovarian cancer screening to reduce the mortality due to ovarian cancer in Kentucky women. The chances of having breast cancer are about 1 in 9 over a woman s lifetime. The chances of having ovarian cancer are about 7-8 times lower than breast cancer. Despite the lower probability, ovarian cancer kills more women than all other gynecologic malignancies combined. Often ovarian cancer is not accompanied by symptoms until the disease is advanced. In some cases, the early symptoms of ovarian cancer can resemble those of the typical flu, which is why women may disregard the symptoms until the cancer has reached the advanced stage. Early stage ovarian cancer is very often curable and advanced stage ovarian cancer carries a poor prognosis for survival; however, beating ovarian cancer is dependent upon early detection. Women with an elevated risk profile for ovarian cancer (usually due to family history) are most likely to be monitored or screened for ovarian cancer. However the vast majority of ovarian cancers do not arise from women at high risk because this group is small. Most ovarian cancers occur in women who are over the age of 50 and do not have any symptoms. Ovarian cancer screening of women over age 50 is not being recommended as a part of the standard of care. Symptoms like pelvic pain or abdominal distension qualify women for diagnostic workups (not screening) involving a bimanual pelvic exam and transvaginal ultrasound. Our research protocol experience involving more than 34,500 women who have received over 180,000 free ultrasound screens indicates that transvaginal ultrasound is the most effective way to detect early stage ovarian cancers and save lives.
