TURNING YOUR DONATIONS INTO DISCOVERY

Twenty years ago, you and people like you helped build something extraordinary: the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre. Today, that progress is changing what’s possible for women with ovarian cancer

Take a look at 20 years of research impact

Where research meets real life

What makes the centre distinctive is how closely research is connected to real patient care. Based at Hammersmith Hospital in London, scientists work alongside clinicians, with tumour samples moving from surgery to the lab within minutes.

This means research is carried out on real ovarian cancer samples, increasing the likelihood that discoveries translate into treatments that work in practice.

“The Research Centre gives scientists the funding to ask the big questions - and find the answers that will save lives.”

Marie-Claire Platt, Director of Research and Policy, Ovarian Cancer Action

And it all starts with you!

For every £1 that Ovarian Cancer Action supporters give, the Research Centre works hard to secure an additional £11 from other places to build on our investment.
