Dr. Oz dedicated this show to making women aware of the misdiagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. He started off by showcasing several families affected by ovarian cancer misdiagnosis. Dr. Oz set up a moving screening clinic in a mall. Women were invited to come down and fill out a vital one sheet then get an ultrasound. The subject is important to Dr. Oz because of the high number of misdiagnosed symptoms. It was mentioned that doctors have always been taught that there are NO symptoms to ovarian cancer. This incorrect teaching has lead to many problems. Over thirty percent of women received prescriptions for causes other than ovarian cancer when the symptoms are directly related to ovarian cancer. Doctors have misdiagnosed this disease. In this clip, the doctors screened one woman who just lost her mother to ovarian cancer and they found a large cyst.
