AJN senior editor James Stubenrauch interviews Suzy Lockwood-Rayermann, PhD, MSN, RN, lead author of “Women’s Awareness of Ovarian Cancer Risks and Symptoms,” original research that appears in the September issue.

In this interview, Lockwood-Rayermann details her findings and discusses nurses’ role in educating patients on ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors.
