| The Ovarian Cancer Network or OvCa.net (www.ovca.net) has created a valuable resource for helping for ovarian cancer patients, their families and caregivers to gain critical information and support via the Internet.
Patients worldwide now have access to information and support even when formal support groups aren’t offered in their community or when they are unable to attend local groups. These comprehensive resources provide patients with the opportunities to become active and informed participants in their care.
OvCa.net is a wholly volunteer organization dedicated to expanding access to information and support opportunities — opportunities that help patients cope with the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The website will provide access to all OvCa.net services and support, including:
• Discussion and chat forums for addressing all aspects of ovarian cancer;
• Online searchable databases for gynecological oncologists, resources, and support groups;
• Communication support to build ovarian cancer awareness;
OvCa.net provides this round-the-clock support by combining both the interactivity and accessibility of the Internet; effectively removing barriers and increasing opportunities for the thousands of newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients. The organization is committed to raising ovarian cancer awareness to both improve recognition of the disease and find an effective diagnostic tool leading to early detection and increased survival. |
