(April 4, 2018) It’s an exciting time for ovarian cancer research! Ovarian cancer clinicians, researchers and advocates came together in New Orleans at the end of March for the Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer, hosted by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO). Meeting attendees learned about the latest developments in ovarian cancer research, treatment, and survivorship.

OCRFA attended the meeting, and two of our survivor-advocates, Annie Ellis and Susan Leighton, wrote up a report highlighting some of the important research presented, including clinical trial results, quality of life and survivorship data, health disparities, and rare cancers.
