Defining opportunities to improve survival and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer in 24 low- and middle-income countries: The Every Woman Study

Abstract

Projected increases in cases and deaths from ovarian cancer are due to hit developing countries hardest by 2040, yet many of them lack sufficient data to advocate and drive effective change to deal with this challenging disease. This novel collaboration brings together advocates and clinical teams from 24 low- and middle-income countries, with the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition and the International Gynecologic Cancer Society to show the experience of women being treated at hospitals in these locations, as a way of identifying local, national and global priorities for action.
