Current ovarian cancer treatments, like surgery and chemotherapy, often have harsh side effects and don't always prevent the cancer from coming back.
The research team aims to develop a more targeted cancer treatment that will reduce side effects and improve outcomes for patients.
What will I be asked to do?
Researchers would like to hear about your experiences of ovarian cancer, either from a personal perspective or from caring for a family member or friend. The team would like you to read and review a short document and attend two meetings to do this.
How long will I be needed for?
You will be needed for a total of five hours. You will be asked to attend two one-hour meetings and reading and reviewing the document will take up to three hours
