TRANSCRIPT:
Hello everyone, my name is Jasmine, and you are listening to the English ClAIRSTONE Podcast, where you can build the cornerstone of your English vocabulary! For all our new listeners, welcome to the community, and for our regulars, hello again! Before we start, I will remind you that we upload new episodes twice a week and there are transcripts for each podcast episode in Arabic, English, and Spanish at our website projectclair.org, so go check that out if you want to follow along!

We will be discussing health-related vocabulary words with the nonprofit organization CCAP Across The Map, which focuses on women’s health, for the first two episodes of every month. Today, we will look at the words “ovary” and “ ovarian cancer”.

Ovary

The noun “ovary”, spelled O-V-A-R-Y, refers to the part in the female body where eggs for making babies are produced. Each ovary is the size and shape of an almond nut. Usually, there are two ovaries that are on each side of another structure called the uterus. An example sentence is, “In most females, about one egg is released every month from an ovary”.

Ovarian Cancer

The phrase “ovarian cancer,” with “ovarian” spelled O-V-A-R-I-A-N and “cancer” spelled C-A-N-C-E-R, is cancer that starts in the ovaries. This type of cancer is often found after it has spread to other parts of the body because it has no symptoms early on. This makes it harder to treat ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer in later stages, or after it has been in the body longer, has nonspecific, or general, symptoms such as loss of hunger and weight loss. An example sentence is, “Ovarian cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States”.
