Objectives

Target Ovarian Cancer is the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity. Find out how we're working to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide much-needed support to everyone affected by ovarian cancer.

Activities

We're the only ovarian cancer charity working across all four nations of the UK. We work with women, family members and health professionals to ensure we target the areas that matter most for those living with ovarian cancer.

Early diagnosis

We've been at the forefront of early diagnosis in ovarian cancer for over a decade. 

Research

Since 2008, we've funded over £1.25m in gold-standard ovarian cancer research projects across the UK. Together with leading experts, we're ensuring that research into ovarian cancer treatment and diagnosis benefits the largest proportion of women with ovarian cancer in the shortest timeframe.

Support

We believe fundamentally that every woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer should receive the right support at the right time, in the way that is right for her. Last year demand for our nurse-led support line went up 22 per cent during the year, demonstrating the ever-increasing need for our specialist nurses’ insight and experience.
