The Role of Advocacy in Ovarian Cancer

• Securing Funding

• The most essential role of advocacy in the fight against ovarian cancer is securing fundingfor research. Ovarian cancer is woefully underfunded, which means that researchers don't have the resources they need to make breakthroughs in ovarian cancer treatment and prevention.

• Supporters work tirelessly to lobby the government and private organizations to invest more in ovarian cancer research. By securing funding, they help to accelerate research and development of new treatments, leading to better outcomes for patients.

• Offering Support

• Advocacy is not only about raisingawareness and securingfundingfor research. Supporters also offer invaluable supportto those affected by ovarian cancer. They create communities where women can connect with others who are going through similar experiences, which can provide comfort and reassurance duringdifficult times.

• These supporters also help to ensure that patients and their families have access to the resources they need to navigate the disease, such as information on ovarian cancer treatment options and financialassistance. By offering support, they can help to improve the quality of life for those affected by ovarian cancer.
