Elevator PitchOvarian cancer is a growing global crisis projected to claim nearly 8 million lives by 2050 if we don't take significant action now. Our 5-year impact goal is to achieve significant and equitable improvements in prevention, survival, and quality of life for everyone impacted by ovarian cancer. We will achieve this through four strategic goals: expanding prevention efforts, enhancing access to rapid diagnosis and the best treatments, increasing awareness and health literacy, and advancing data and evidence to inform policy and practice. By fostering strong international partnerships and advocating for global recognition of ovarian cancer as a critical health priority, we can improve outcomes and the quality of life for women worldwide. Each of us has a unique role in driving this global agenda forward, ensuring that everyone living with or at risk of ovarian cancer has the best chance of survival and the best quality of life possible, no matter where they live.Emphasises the need for expanding prevention efforts globally.Stresses the importance of improving access to diagnostics and treatments.Highlights the critical role of raising awareness and improving health literacy.Calls for the use of data to inform global strategies and measure progressFocuses on fostering international partnerships and advocating for ovarian cancer as a global priority.

General Talking PointsGlobal Ovarian Cancer CrisisEscalating Mortality: Without significant intervention, nearly 8 million women are projected to die from ovarian cancer by 2050. The annual incidence is expected to increase by 55%, and mortality by 70%, highlighting the critical need for global collaboration and action​Highlights the need for better data to guide global effots and address regional disparities Calls for global collaboration to address rising incidence and mortality ratesEmphasises the importance of addressing disparities through support for advocacy movements.

Enhancing Access to Genetic Testing and Treatment Genetic Testing as Prevention: Expanding access to genetic testing is vital for prevention efforts and personalised treatment of ovarian cancer. Prevention may be especially important in regions with limited access to the best treatments. Increasing awareness about family history and inherited genetic mutations will empower women to take proactive steps in mitigating their risk of ovarian cancer through surveillance or risk reduction measures, including surgery​Highlights the importance of genetic testing as a preventative measure.Stresses the necessity of equitable access to diagnostics and treatmentsReinforces the need for global partnerships to ensure these resources reach all regionsReinforces the need for global partnerships to ensure these resources reach all regions

The Importance of Symptom Awareness in Ovarian Cancer DetectionEarly Detection Through Awareness: Raising awareness about ovarian cancer risks and symptoms is critical, as it can lead to earlier diagnoses, which is crucial for improving survival rates. Promoting symptom awareness among women and healthcare professionals can reduce the disease burden by enabling earlier, more effective treatment​. This is supported by our strategic focus on increasing global awareness and health literacy​By promoting awareness of symptoms, we can contribute to earlier diagnosis and reduce the number of late-stage diagnosisDirectly supports the goal of raising global awareness about ovarian cancer symptoms and the importance of early detectionUnderscores the need for accurate data to inform awareness strategies and measure their impactDirectly supports the goal of raising global awareness about ovarian cancer symptoms and the importance of early detection
