Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer, with an estimated 20,000 women newly diagnosed annually in the United States alone. With no early detection tests available, this devastating disease often goes unnoticed until it has already reached an incurable stage. Tragically, ovarian cancer typically affects women at the prime of their lives, robbing families of mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters.

Groundbreaking research led by Division Director, Dr. Rebecca Stone, and the gynecologic oncology team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has unlocked new possibilities in the fight against this deadly disease. Their work has revealed that:

  • Most high-grade serous ovarian cancers, the most common and deadly form, originate in the fallopian tubes up to 10 years before diagnosis.
  • Preventative salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) has the potential to significantly reduce the impact of ovarian cancer.

By supporting the Ovarian Cancer Prevention Research fund, your donation will enable Dr. Stone's team to:

  • Educate healthcare providers and patients about this life-saving procedure
  • Work with insurers to cover preventative salpingectomies
  • Launch a public education campaign to disseminate this critical information…and more!

Your support will make a tremendous difference in the fight against ovarian cancer, helping to save the lives of women and their families before this deadly disease takes hold.
