World Ovarian Cancer Day 2024

New Content ItemFollowing cervical and uterine cancer, ovarian cancer (OC) ranks third in gynecologic cancers for frequency but has the highest rate of death. A woman’s risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 78, with a mortality rate of around 1 in 108. OC often remains non-diagnosed until it spreads throughout the pelvis and abdomen, making treatment difficult.

For World Ovarian Cancer Day 2024, we'd like to highlight some of our most impactful research and review articles on OC in the last few years, which have extensively contributed to the field.

We'd like to congratulate our authors on this achievement, which cements Journal of Ovarian Research as a top destination for OC content.

For our 2023 highlights, please see here and for more information on WOCD from the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition including how to get involved, please see here.
