Why focus on ovarian cancer?
For the majority of women with ovarian cancer today, there is no curative treatment. Ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women in the developed world. Currently there are 239,000 new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed annually and 140,000 women die each year from the disease worldwide. Of all women with ovarian cancer, 70% are diagnosed in an advanced stage (stages III or IV), of which only 25% survive for more than 5 years.
Unique collaboration with leading Key Opinion Leaders
The OvaCure Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board has been established, which includes some of the most recognised internationally experts in oncology, immunotherapy and gynaecology. During the annual OvaCure Innovation Summit, the Advisory Scientific and Clinical Board work with the leading experts to develop innovative new projects with curative potential. The selected projects are then offered financial support.
