LGSOC Awareness Day is September 9
Research has shown us that many people living with Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC) had never heard of the disease before they were diagnosed with it, and most often were diagnosed at advanced stages.
In 2024, the STAAR Ovarian Cancer Foundation partnered with Verastem Oncology to designate September 9 as LGSOC Awareness Day. This important milestone, set within Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, shines a spotlight on this rare form of ovarian cancer, helping to amplify the voices of those affected and promote life-saving education and research.
LGSOC Awareness Day is the time to spread the word about the symptoms of low-grade serous ovarian cancer and the need for more research.
