Ovarian Cancer Canada is filling a gap. We need to be here. And to reach this point, we’ve been working shoulder to shoulder with our community who have dedicated their time, effort, and hard-earned dollars to this cause.

In May, we invited community members in Quebec to gather for two very special evenings and make new connections with neighbours, community leaders, the Ovarian Cancer Canada team and researchers.

“Ovarian cancer is a terrible disease…we never gave up hope that she would survive it,” says John Buttimor, of Peterborough, Ontario.

Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Quebec-Clinical Research Organization in Cancer (Q-CROC) are teaming up to optimize the support available to women affected by ovarian cancer in Quebec.

Women living in Prince Edward Island (PEI) now have access to precision treatments for ovarian cancer, thanks to Ovarian Cancer Canada’s advocacy efforts.

Every 5 hours, we lose someone we love to ovarian cancer in Canada. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer and sadly, one in two diagnosed do not live to see another five years.

Happy New Year to you. As we launch into the year ahead, it’s time to be bold.

Two funded clinical trials, though different in their approach and focus, share a dedication to exploring innovative treatment pathways and a made-in-Canada pedigree.

The Peggy Truscott Award was created to honour outstanding volunteers who are making an impact in the ovarian cancer community, just like Peggy. We are excited to announce this year’s recipients.
