Story

Low grade serous ovarian cancer affects young women; many are in their 20s or 30s. It is rare and has only been recognised as a separate entity in the last 15 years. Much more research is desperately required because the chemotherapy treatments routinely used to treat other forms of ovarian cancer do not work well in this disease.

Reacher into low grade serous ovarian cancer is carried out by Professor Charlie Gourley in the Nicola Murray Centre for Ovarian Cancer Research. at the University of Edinburgh. His team have provided national leadership on low grade serous ovarian cancer clinical trials and are now performing laboratory research to inform the next generation of low grade serous ovarian cancer clinical trials.
