Ovarian cancer is the most fatal women’s cancer. Most women are diagnosed in late stages because there is no reliable early screening test. Research into better treatments, a screening test and prevention as well as increasing the number of researchers in this field are critical priorities.

Come and hear the latest in research from our panel of experts. Enjoy refreshments and participate in an open discussion about ovarian cancer.

Free activity. Presentations in French – questions will be answered in both official languages.
