Women's Cancer Foundation - Ovarian Cancer Institute
(AU, 85250803978) Browse events
YTD Raised: $1,448.622 out of 3 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will die. Please, help us turn the tide. Over the last 15 years the WCF has raised money to fund researchers searching for more effective ways to treat and care for women suffering with ovarian cancer, an insidious disease that kills more than 900 Australian women each year. The sad fact is that 2 out of 3 Australian women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will die from this insidious disease within 5 years. A horrifying statistic that we need to change.. and we can, with your support. The ultimate goal is to reduce the mortality from this malignancy by engaging in clinical trials, finding ways to reverse resistance to cancer drugs, and to work out how best to use a woman’s own immune system to combat the disease. It is obvious we will never ever be able to improve the outcome for ovarian cancer patients without doing properly controlled scientific studies, and it is clear, especially in this terrible economic down turn, that funding is going to become more and more difficult and we need your help. We sincerely hope you can help us turn the tide, and thank you for supporting the Women's Cancer Foundation.

We have achieved breakthroughs that have saved, improved and extended the lives of kids here and around the world. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved. But the work has only just begun.
