The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund recently published this article:
(May 4, 2016) Research funded in part by an OCRFA research grant to Dr. Weiping Zou at the University of Michigan has shown that the sensitivity and resistance to cancer chemotherapies is not fully explained by genomic mechanisms as it has previously thought. In fact, it may be affected by effector T cells (cells that defend the body in an immune response) in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, a combination of platinum-based chemotherapies and immunotherapy could be a promising approach to treating cancer. The results were published recently in Cell.

In October 2012, a dream was realized for two dynamic ovarian cancer survivors: Anne Tonachel and Robin Bray. Their dream was to provide a restorative retreat for other ovarian cancer survivors in the northeast. When the amazing Kennedy family of Camp Kieve and The Kennedy Learning Center provided the retreat space (in honor of a family member with ovarian cancer), this restorative retreat was born.
