Ovarian Cancer CanadaAt Ovarian Cancer Canada, we reject the notion that ovarian cancer can’t be eradicated. We are here to demand action, deliver change, and transform lives. We stand hand-in-hand with the people experiencing, affected by, or at risk of the disease. We will not rest until women are able to live their lives freely, fully, and uninhibited by ovarian cancer.
