About Ovarian Cancer:
Ovarian Cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. This year in the US, approximately 20,000 individuals will be diagnosed with the disease and almost 13,000 will die. Because there is no early detection test or routine screening, only 15% of ovarian cancer is diagnosed in the earliest stages when chances of a good outcome are high. The overall 5 year survival rate of ovarian cancer is 49%. There are symptoms associated with ovarian cancer but they are not commonly known. Ovarian cancer affects females of all ages. The need for awareness, education, and effective screening and treatment are critically needed.

About the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MIOCA):
The Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance was formed in 2011 to fill a tremendous void in the state. MIOCA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Survivors, family members, and other supporters come together to move its mission. MIOCA provides resources and support to ovarian cancer survivors, advocates at the federal and state level, educates the public, raises awareness of the disease, and funds innovative ovarian cancer research in Michigan. Donations to MIOCA are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Learn more about MIOCA at MIOCA.org
