About the OCRF:
Established in 2000, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) is Australia’s leading charity dedicated to funding ovarian cancer research. They fund research into ovarian cancer - the most lethal female and reproductive cancer - to improve lives today and save lives tomorrow.
The OCRF’s mission: For everyone, everywhere to be free from the threat of ovarian cancer.
Why ovarian cancer research?
- Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological cancer and there is currently no early detection test.
- One Australian dies every eight hours from ovarian cancer.
- Due to vagueness of symptoms and the lack of an early detection test, approximately 70% of those diagnosed are already in the advanced stages of the disease.
- For those diagnosed in the advanced stages, there is only a 29% five-year survival rate.
- The average five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer patients is just 48%.
- Approximately 80% of all ovarian cancer patients will experience a recurrence after successful treatment – one of the key reasons why ovarian cancer is so lethal.
- An early detection test could save the lives of 8,000 Australians over a 10-year period.
