World Ovarian Cancer Coalition

Today, on International Day for Women & Girls in Science, we celebrate the brilliant minds advancing ovarian cancer research. 💡💙 One of them being Dr. Elizabeth Dolan (University of Nottingham N/LAB) who, in collaboration with Ovacome - the ovarian cancer support charity, is using AI to analyze shopping data for early ovarian cancer risk detection.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the socioeconomic impact of ovarian cancer workshop, hosted with Ovarian Cancer Australia! The conversations and insights shared will help shape the future of #ovariancancer care. Let’s continue working together for a brighter future! 💙

Following World Cancer Day, we're highlighting our partner World Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Together, we’re raising awareness of ovarian cancer—the deadliest of women's cancer—which is projected to affect nearly 500,000 people annually by 2050.  The Coalition recently released a white paper addressing the critical challenges and innovative strategies required to tackle hereditary ovarian cancer globally. One key recommendation is a call for strategies to support the implementation of population-wide genetic testing. In the US alone, universal genetic testing could prevent hundreds of thousands of cancer cases and prevent more than 40,000 deaths over the course of a lifetime. https://bit.ly/4jIkoCU #WorldCancerDay #UnitedByUnique

On #WorldCancerDay I am celebrating the unique experience of cancer patients and the power of a unified cancer advocacy movement. The Global Cancer Coalitions Network represents 750 advocacy and support organizations who work on behalf of over 14 million patients worldwide. Proud to be part of this community and the unique experiences we represent.

According to the world economic forum, "9 conditions account for one-third of women’s health gaps across data availability, care delivery and effectiveness of care: menopause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), endometriosis, maternal hypertensive disorder, post-partum haemorrhage, migraine, ischaemic heart disease, cervical cancer and breast cancer. Addressing gaps in these nine conditions could unlock 27 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) annually, according to the research – equivalent to adding 2.7 healthy days per year, per woman. It would also yield $1 trillion in annual global GDP by 2040." The Global Alliance for Women’s Health was launched a year ago to improve research, financing and policy advocacy for women’s health. The WHIT platform was also launched to deliver insights and achievable metrics to identify and address disparities in women’s health. Like me, quite a few people around the world work with organization like World Ovarian Cancer Coalition to bring out the need to focus on women's health. Mainly because the mass of the gynaecological issues faced by women are not really different issues. They are all linked. Hopefully, the different organizations can work together to bring govt. focus on this long neglected and much needed topic. Kudos to champions like Tilly Metz for holding the fort in places where plans can turn into actions. 🖖👏

Today, on #WorldCancerDay, we celebrate the strength and courage of those impacted by cancer, including the incredible women featured in our #InspiringVoices series. 🌍✨ Their stories remind us why people-centered care is essential - every person deserves compassionate, tailored support. #UnitedByUnique World Cancer Day To listen to their stories, visit our website here: https://loom.ly/eLLB6Yo

When we invest in education and a deeper understanding of our world, such as through our Every Woman Study™: Low- and Middle-Income Edition, we invest in people. This empowers us to work towards a better future for all. #NoWomanLeftBehind #InternationalDayofEducation #OvarianCancer
