Ovarian Cancer

RMIT is at the cutting edge of health and technological innovation when it comes to ovarian cancer research. Your donation will help our researchers identify earlier biomarkers to detect ovarian cancer when it’s most treatable.

Most of us know someone who has been touched by cancer, and it is often a dark and difficult time navigating this tragic disease.

For those of us whose loved ones are affected by ovarian cancer, diagnosis and treatment is a race against time, as the cancerous cells can often go undetected until it’s suddenly too late.

Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation, our researchers are working towards a future where early diagnosis is simple and the best treatment prediction tools are made more accessible.

These experts across medical, technological, and scientific fields are united by their commitment to early cancer detection and personalised treatment methods.

Join us in rewriting the outcomes for people who have ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynaecological cancer, which up until now has relied upon invasive surgical biopsies for detection – biopsies that often come too late.

100% of every donation made to Ovarian Cancer Research goes directly to these research streams which are working to save lives through earlier and earlier detection plus optimised treatment.  

Please donate to our Ovarian Cancer Research today to help us fight the battle against ovarian cancer on two main fronts – early detection and optimised treatment.
