Emerging Advances in Ovarian and Gynecologic Cancer Care

This program will provide ovarian cancer patients with up-to-date information on innovative treatment strategies. We will also share updates on endometrial cancer and other gynecologic cancer advances. It also highlights opportunities to participate in clinical trials, while addressing prevention efforts for those with hereditary genetic risk and survivorship.

Bonus for our Embrace Community: We invite members of our Embrace community, those facing advanced ovarian cancer or metastatic breast cancer, to stay on at the end of the webinar for an intimate breakout session with our expert and Bonnie Beckoff, Director of Sharsheret Support Services.
