LGSOC Awareness Day is September 9
Raising awareness for low-grade serous ovarian cancer through education, advocacy, research, and community action.
Low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) is a rare form of ovarian cancer that affects women of all ages, but disproportionately younger women. It behaves differently than the more common ovarian cancers, often recurs, and has fewer treatment options. Increased awareness can help improve diagnosis, support research, and outcomes.
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.
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.
