The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund
The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization devoted to the formulation of early diagnostic treatment programs and research towards the ultimate conquest of ovarian cancer. As OCRF strives to find an early diagnostic tool and a cure, it also seeks to support patients and their loved ones in understanding this disease and its treatment as well as to provide outreach programs and raise public awareness.

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death of all gynecologic cancers in the United States, and ranks fifth as the cause of cancer death overall. In 2007 it is estimated by the American Cancer Society that there will be 22,430 new cases of ovarian cancer in the United States and about 15,280 women will die of the disease.
