We are changing
the ovarian
cancer story.

The Every Women Study Low-and Middle-Income Edition published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health, is the very first comprehensive study capturing the lived experiences of women with ovarian cancer in LMICs, where 70% of those diagnosed with the disease live.

The Global Expert Advisory Group on Ovarian Cancer convenes patient advocates, clinicians, epidemiologists, and policymakers from all WHO regions, with strong representation from low- and middle-income countries. It provides strategic leadership and global credibility, while playing a central role in Project PROTECT, our flagship project.

This study evaluates the health, economic, and social burden of ovarian cancer across 11 diverse nations, revealing the staggering $70 billion burden of ovarian cancer, with over 90% of these costs resulting from lives lost, and shines a light on the pressing need for global prioritization of ovarian cancer.

The Coalition and NICRAT are partnering on a groundbreaking initiative, “Enhancing Prevention, Early Diagnosis, and Treatment of Ovarian Cancer: A Pilot Initiative in Nigeria” to address critical gaps in awareness, diagnosis, and access to care, with the potential to inform future national and global efforts.

Host Hannah Vaughan Jones speaks with survivors, patients, clinicians, scientists, advocates, and caregivers. Together, they share stories, research, and insights into how we can raise awareness, tackle inequalities in care, and break down social taboos.
