A Future of Hope for Every Woman

The National Agenda for Ovarian Cancer is the ovarian cancer community's first national roadmap to advance ovarian cancer research and patient care into the next decade. The comprehensive platform identifies measurable goals to evolve research, improve access to quality care and accelerate advocacy.

The National Agenda for Ovarian Cancer is symbolized by a new Alliance logo with a message that encapsulates the past — "A Decade of Action" — and pledges a new horizon — "A Future of Hope."
