About Ovarian Cancer Action  

In the UK, only 1 in 3 women live more than 10 years after an ovarian cancer diagnosis.

As the leading ovarian cancer research charity, we’re working to change that. By finding new and better ways to prevent, treat and detect ovarian cancer, we will ensure a future where no woman dies of ovarian cancer.

Ovarian Cancer Action is a community of changemakers with one purpose: to give ovarian cancer the focus it needs to increase 10-year survival rates. And we know research is the solution. 

We live and breathe this lifesaving, world-leading research. We fund more ovarian cancer research than any other UK gynaecological cancer charity. It’s how we’ve driven some of the biggest breakthroughs of the last 19 years. 

We're also the only charity at the heart of the global ovarian cancer research community and have been for four decades. 

By connecting the world's leading scientists together, we’re creating a powerful hub of experience, expertise and insight so that we confidently fund research that takes us a step closer to our goal: that by 2032 half of women will live more than 10 years after diagnosis.
