Chris Evert's ovarian cancer diagnosis: What to know about prevention
Fox News
Tennis legend Chris Evert recently revealed that she is battling stage 1C ovarian cancer. The 67-year-old tennis legend who has won 18 Grand Slam singles titles and three Grand Slam doubles titles during her career, opened up about her diagnosis on Twitter and in an ESPN report that she co-wrote with her colleague, Chris McKendry.
Evert, who has been an ESPN analyst for over a decade, still plans to cover the Australian Open, which begins this week. "You will see me appear from home at times during ESPN’s coverage of the Aussie Open," she wrote on her Twitter account.
Evert learned of her cancer diagnosis last month after undergoing a preventative hysterectomy. She scheduled the procedure after genetic testing discovered she was at increased risk for ovarian cancer, the ESPN report said. The pathology report revealed a malignant tumor was noted on the tennis star’s fallopian tube and required surgery and chemotherapy treatment, according to the report.
