World Ovarian Cancer Coalition

The World Ovarian Cancer Coalition (WOCC) is the only global not-for-profit organisation focused exclusively on ovarian cancer, one of the major cancers affecting women that remains critically under-prioritised and still claims far too many lives. 

Established in 2016, we unite more than 200 patient advocacy organisations worldwide to improve outcomes for all women affected by ovarian cancer, regardless of geography or income. Grounded in our robust global evidence base, including the landmark Every Woman Study™ and research on the socioeconomic burden of the disease, we work with partners to turn evidence into action by highlighting symptoms and risks, advancing earlier diagnosis, and driving equitable and affordable access to specialist care. Together, we can design a different future for women with or at risk of ovarian cancer, so that no woman is left behind.
