Low-grade serous ovarian cancer Initiative
A global initiative dedicated to radically improving the survival of women with low-grade serous ovarian cancer
We are committed to advancing research and providing our community with vital information that empowers people to make informed decisions about their care.
Why we exist
Low-grade serous ovarian cancer has long been overlooked and under-supported, with inadequate research funding slowing progress to improve survival.
We’re here to change that by providing crucial support and information for patients and channelling donations and fundraising into ground-breaking low-grade serous ovarian cancer research around the world.
Our impact
$500k +
raised for LGSOC research across five countries.
700 +
people with LGSOC and over 200 caregivers supported through our online support groups.

Our community
Low-grade serous ovarian cancer disproportionately affects younger women and has additional challenges as a rare cancer.
Our community is incredible, offering understanding and strength through shared experiences.
We run two dedicated support groups: one for patients to connect, share experiences, and find resilience, and another for loved ones to offer and receive support.
Elsa's Story
Elsa’s sister, Kristen, was diagnosed with low-grade serous ovarian cancer, aged 21.
Elsa shares why Kristen was such an inspiration to the ovarian cancer community, and why Elsa is continuing to raise funds in honour of Kristen’s Legacy.
