CNN host Christiane Amanpour has disclosed that her ovarian cancer has returned for a third time. The 67-year-old journalist made the announcement during an appearance on the “Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story” podcast, alongside gynaecology oncologist Dr. Angela George.
Amanpour reassured listeners that her cancer is “being very well-managed”, but urged people to “listen to their bodies”. The British-Iranian broadcaster first went public with her diagnosis in 2021, after undergoing surgery and before starting chemotherapy, in order to help others diagnosed with the disease.
Her latest revelation comes as she continues to advocate for awareness and early detection of ovarian cancer. Amanpour’s openness about her health struggles has been widely praised, and she remains a prominent figure in journalism.
