Event Details
The Ovarian Cancer Canada Speaker Series features experts from across the country discussing a wide range of topics for women living with ovarian cancer and their families and friends.
Join us on Wednesday, March 25 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET for Understanding biomarkers in ovarian cancer: What to know and what to ask
Biomarkers are changing the way we understand and treat ovarian cancer, but what do they really mean for patients? In this session, we will break down the basics of biomarkers – what they are, how they are tested, and why they matter for treatment decisions. You’ll learn how biomarkers can guide personalized therapies and help predict treatment response.
Our expert panel includes:
- Dr. Annie Leung, Gynecologic Oncologist
- Dr. Basile Tessier-Cloutier, Gynecologic Pathologist
- Kristine Stolar, Patient Advocate
They’ll provide clear explanations, answer your questions, and share practical insights to help you feel more informed, supported, and empowered to make the best decisions for your care.
This free event will be hosted on Zoom. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. You can submit your questions in advance to speakerseries@ovariancanada.org
