Ovarian Cancer Action's Impact Strategy

Late diagnosis. Limited treatment options. 70% chance of recurrence. 

Some of the unacceptable reasons women are dying from ovarian cancer and why we’re committed to putting a stop to it.

From our research centre we've sparked life-changing discoveries across the globe. But there's much more to do. Our goal is to make sure by 2032 half of women live more than 10 years after diagnosis.

So, we’re supercharging progress.

We are making prevention a possibility today. We're discovering and sharing information on risk. So, every woman knows her options and can take control of her future.

WE’RE MAKING PREVENTION A POSSIBILITY.

We're discovering and sharing information on risk. So, every woman knows her options and can take control of her future.

WE’RE ENABLING EARLY DETECTION THAT SAVES LIVES.

When cancer is found early women have a much better chance of surviving for longer. We're making discoveries to make an ovarian cancer screening test a reality.

We’re innovating treatment.

New drugs. Personalised treatment. We're developing and trialling new approaches to cure and manage ovarian cancer. One of our teams is seeing if a successful breast cancer drug can be used to treat ovarian cancer.

We’re making care equal.

No woman should lose her life to ovarian cancer because of her age, her race or where she lives. We’re driving change to make sure every woman has the best treatment possible.  Our IMPROVE programme is levelling up the quality of care across UK.

We’re sharing the warning signs.

We were the first charity to share the four most common symptoms of ovarian cancer and have them recognised by the UK department of health. And we won’t stop until all women know what to look for.
