For Patients
There are just over 20,000 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the US each year. This is just 1/10th the number of breast cancer patients. Because of our limited numbers, it can be harder to access resources for new treatments. Yet each year, 15,000 women die from ovarian cancer. We think this is unacceptable.
Although our tumors may look similar under the microscope, they have different molecular profiles (“blueprints”). Understanding the blueprint is key to finding the right treatments in the future. The Clearity Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, founded by an ovarian cancer survivor and scientist.
How can I help?
Because there are relatively few cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year, we need every woman’s help. You can sign up to have your blueprint determined and permit us to keep your information in our database.
How will this help me?
This may help us find the right clinical trial or other treatment for you, and will help determine better treatment options for all women with ovarian cancer in the future.
The process is simple, can be started online, and will cost you nothing: the Clearity Foundation pays for all tests not covered by your insurance. As an ovarian cancer patient, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Sign up today! To start the process of having your cancer analyzed, send us an e-mail at info@clearityfoundation.org.
