President & CEO Audra Moran Joins Katie Couric to Talk Ovarian Cancer Prevention

Audra Moran, President & CEO of OCRA, joined Katie Couric to explain important new developments around symptoms and early detection of ovarian cancer, and what this means for the future.

“A seminal study came out about a year and a half ago that showed, unfortunately, that early detection of ovarian cancer, even in an earlier stage of the cancer, did not affect mortality,” says Moran in the below interview with Katie Couric. “That was really, really hard to hear. So we started thinking about, what can we recommend? What will make a difference?”
