Ovarian Cancer Canada funds research into prevention, improved treatments, and ultimately a cure. Science continues to uncover new knowledge that impacts treatment and survival. Here’s how.
In the news recently, research out of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Guelph shows potential to shrink ovarian tumours while improving drug delivery.
Ovarian Cancer Canada announces this year’s recipient of the Karen Campbell Award for Research Excellence. Congratulations to Dr. Barbara Vanderhyden.
In the past six years, scientific discoveries have fundamentally changed our understanding of ovarian cancer and propelled researchers and clinicians in new directions in their quest to overcome Canada’s most fatal women’s cancer.

A recent study estimated reduction in risk of ovarian, fallopian and peritoneal cancer in women in a study group with BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutation after oophorectomy, by age of oophorectomy; to estimate the impact of prophylactic oophorectomy on all-cause mortality and to estimate 5 year survival associated with clinically detected ovarian, occult and peritoneal cancers.
