Target Ovarian Cancer
What to expect from surgery when you're newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Film & Campaign Description

In our patient information film, Dhivya Chandrasekaran, Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology at University College London Hospital answers common questions about surgery from those newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She explains who will need surgery, when they would have it, what to expect from it and how long it takes to recover. Women with an ovarian cancer diagnosis who have been through surgery share their experiences to offer reassurance to anyone newly diagnosed.

Target Ovarian Cancer

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.

We give trusted information, to help people ask questions and make decisions that are right for them. We connect people with shared experiences, and we support families every step of the way.

We stand together as a powerful community for everyone facing ovarian cancer across the UK, sharing stories and raising voices, to make sure that ovarian cancer becomes a health priority.

We know that early diagnosis saves lives, so we work closely with GPs who are at the heart of this, to help them diagnose ovarian cancer faster and earlier – giving everyone the best chance of living.

And our investment in research to find new, better and more targeted treatments means that everyone can live with hope for their future.

We’re fighting for a world where everyone with ovarian cancer lives, and we’re targeting what’s important - symptoms awareness, early diagnosis, better treatments and support for all.
