Survey on ovarian cancer risk management research for women with ovaries


Survey on ovarian cancer risk management research for women with ovaries

FORCE, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (www.facingourrisk.org), is always on board with Advocacy programs. This survey was created so that we can attest for the need for continued funds for Ovarian Cancer research, risk management and treatment.  Below are the parameters for the survey.  All you need to do is click on the link above to get started!  And of course, please pass this along!!


Survey on Ovarian Cancer Prevention Research

Researchers are considering studies using medication or salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) to lower ovarian cancer risk in high-risk women. FORCE is partnering with researchers to understand more about women's attitudes about participating in ovarian cancer prevention studies.
This survey is open to women who:
  • have a BRCA mutation, Lynch Syndrome, or ovarian cancer runs in their family
  • have not been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and still have one or both ovaries

The surveys need to be completed by June 1st so that our Executive Director, Sue Friedman, can also present these results at our Annual JoiningFORCE's Conference June 23 to the 25th.

Love and hugs,
Beth
