Funded Activity Summary

Ovarian cancer affects 1300 women each year in Australia and 5-year survival is <45%. Women with this cancer thus face a poor prognosis and many ask what they can do to improve this. There is no direct evidence whether a woman’s lifestyle might influence her outcomes, although data from breast cancer suggest this is possible. The OPAL Study will follow 1200 women with ovarian cancer to identify whether lifestyle is associated with survival to provide guidance for women with this disease.
