Media resources (click on link to Media): Note the last sentence for the call for ovarian cancer participants:
Welcome to the Target Ovarian Cancer media hub. You'll find a host of media friendly materials here such as the stories of women living with ovarian cancer plus our latest news releases.
In the coming months we will be adding more and more unique data to this section making it a genuine 'hub' of ovarian cancer news and real life stories.
Right now, we are asking media to assist in our search for women with ovarian cancer, specialist gynae cancer nurses, clinicians and researchers to take part in the Target Ovarian Cancer Pathfinder Study. It is the first national study of its kind devoted to mapping the gaps in current patient care, clinical research, funding and identifying the routes forward for ovarian cancer management. All working towards our aim of a long and good life for every woman with ovarian cancer.
Nationally, March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, so if you are planning a feature, please do include a 'call to action' for people to enroll in the Target Ovarian Cancer Pathfinder Study via www.targetovarian.org.uk . Our recruitment will continue on an ongoing basis.

".... recent epidemiological data may have been not only wrongly translated in relation to the clinical settings, but also to the whole class of therapies. The various progestins available for hormonal therapy exert different partial effects at cellular level according to the biochemical composition."

Worth noting:
Finally, as it is known that patients with “high risk”
early stage ovarian cancer have a 30% to 50% chance of
experiencing recurrence of the disease process, and those
recurrences are largely within the peritoneal cavity, it is
perhaps reasonable to consider delivering some, or perhaps
all, of a planned adjuvant chemotherapy approach via the
intraperitoneal route.
