Ovarian Cancer Action
8-12 Camden High Street, 3rd Floor, London NW1 0JH
Overview
Ovarian Cancer Action is a UK-based charity dedicated to improving outcomes for women with ovarian cancer through awareness, support, and research advocacy. Located in the heart of Camden, London, the organisation works to reduce delays in diagnosis by educating both the public and healthcare professionals about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, which are often missed or attributed to other conditions.
The organisation provides a range of services including a helpline offering emotional and practical support to patients and their families, information resources about ovarian cancer and treatment options, and advocacy work to influence policy and clinical practice. Ovarian Cancer Action also funds research initiatives aimed at developing better early detection methods and more effective treatments.
The charity serves women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, their carers, and families across the UK. By combining patient support with research funding and public awareness campaigns, Ovarian Cancer Action plays an important role in addressing what remains a significant women's health issue in the UK, where early diagnosis rates remain lower than desired.
