Story

Ovarian cancer is the UKs most deadly gynaecological disease claiming a womans life every two hours. And thats not okay with us. In fact, diseases like breast cancer had better survival rates five decades ago than ovarian cancer does in 2019.

Were determined to do something about this. To take action and make ovarian cancer a survivable disease. Raising awareness of its symptoms amongst the public and healthcare professionals is how we make the quickest impact. Scientific research is how we make the biggest impact.

Thats why, with your support, weve funded £11.4m in medical research since 2006, more than any other ovarian cancer charity. Youve helped us open the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre at Imperial College London and to run our HHMT International Forum on Ovarian Cancer, bringing together the worlds leading scientists to determine research priorities around the globe.

Were committed to funding research to accelerate progress in three main areas: prevention, diagnosis and treatment. And while our scientists are busy in the lab, were on the ground campaigning for change and raising awareness of the disease, so that every woman and healthcare professional knows the signs to look out for.

Together, these priorities will help women survive ovarian cancer.

Join us on our mission today. Help us accelerate the rate of progress.

We are the UK’s leading ovarian cancer research charity. In the UK only 1 in 3 women live more than 10 years after diagnosis. We are working to better prevent, treat and detect ovarian cancer, so that by 2032 at least half of women with ovarian cancer live for 10 years.
