Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Research in new zealand
The Ovarian Cancer Foundation New Zealand (OCFNZ) is the parent organisation of the Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Initiative. The LGSOC Initiative honours our original charitable purpose to advance low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) survival.
In New Zealand, we’re working to develop research expertise in LGSOC locally through our dedicated LGSOC research grants.
