You're Not Alone

We know that receiving a gynecologic cancer diagnosis (ovarian, fallopian tube, endometrial, uterine, cervical, vulvar, vaginal, primary peritoneal) can be a scary and challenging experience, and we are here to support you through it all.

We provide both emotional and financial support through our programs. Getting a cancer diagnosis is not only frightening, but can be financially stressful. We want to talk with you as early as possible to help you weather this storm.

We have dedicated staff, exceptional volunteers, and a community of people who have gone through, or are still going through, the challenges of dealing with this disease. We are here for you through all stages of gynecologic cancer.

Dr Coleman Discusses Evolving Strategies in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer remains a difficult-to-treat disease with historically limited treatment options and poor survival outcomes. Earlier this year, the FDA approved the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist relacorilant (Lifyorli) in combination with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, adding a new treatment option to the evolving landscape.1

The approval was based on results from the phase 3 ROSELLA trial (NCT05257408),2 which evaluated relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel vs nab-paclitaxel alone in patients who had received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.2 The combination significantly improved both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), reducing the risk of death by 35% compared with nab-paclitaxel alone (HR, 0.65; P =.0004). Median OS was 16.0 months with the combination vs 11.9 months with chemotherapy alone, while median PFS was 6.5 months vs 5.5 months, respectively.1,2

Prevention!

The HPV virus causes cervical cancer and getting vaccinated against HPV is a critical strategy to protect yourself. Getting male and female children vaccinated provides the best life long prevention. However, did you know that Insurance should cover people getting the vaccine up to the age of 45? If you haven't gotten it yet, ask you doctor!

The Vaccine's brand name is GARDASIL 9 -- helps protect individuals ages 9 to 45 against the following diseases caused by 9 types of HPV: cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers in females, anal cancer, certain head and neck cancers, such as throat and back of mouth cancers and genital warts in both males and females.

For the other cancers, there is NO prevention, but there is still something you can do! Knowing the signs and symptoms of the gyn cancers and seeing a doctor if you ever veer off of your normal. It's incredibly important you know your normal - trust your gut!
