 - DID YOU KNOW? - 


This year, over 21,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and about 14,000 women will die from it. Sadly, there is not a screening or early detection test available. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are subtle and often overlooked, which results in only 20 percent of ovarian tumors being detected before they have progressed to an advanced stage. 
Every year, women of all ages are affected by ovarian cancer, especially the rare form low-grade serous ovarian cancer (which disproportionately affects younger women). The lack of screening tests and limited research for ovarian cancer adds to the importance of not only educating women about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, but the need to raise funding for research in order to help give these women better treatment options and longer lives. 
STAAR Ovarian Cancer Foundation has created the Step Up America for Ovarian Cancer Campaign to raise awareness and funding for research, especially for the rare subtype, Low-Grade Serous Carcinoma (LGSC). Funds raised will be directly supporting ovarian cancer research. STAAR is governed and run 100% by a volunteer board and committee members, half of whom are women previously diagnosed with LGSC. Since 2020, STAAR has provided funds for two research projects at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, with the most recent contribution totaling $150,000!
