Progressive Ovarian Cancer Research in the United States

Ovarian cancer research in the United States can be stifled by government agencies not giving the proper funding. Ovarian Cancer Institute is fiercely dedicated to the awareness, prevention, detection, and treatment of ovarian cancer. Our first-class research team includes world-renowned gynecologic oncologist Dr. Benedict Benigno and leading cancer researcher Dr. Jeffrey Skolnick. They seek help from fellow researchers in other fields, such as engineering, nanotechnology, medicine, computer science, and chemistry. By working together, Dr. Skolnick can see if their work could somehow impact advancements in ovarian cancer research. This innovative fight for ovarian cancer research can only be provided at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Recent Breakthroughs in Ovarian Cancer Research

Our team’s mission is clear. We want to support promising new approaches to early diagnosis and more effective treatment of ovarian cancer. The Ovarian Cancer Institute intends to revolutionize the care of ovarian cancer patients with novel approaches to the disease. Often, these advancements are considered “high risk” and thus not considered federal agencies with access to proper funding. We were designed to fill this gap. Recent breakthroughs resulting from OCI funding include the following:

  • A novel machine-learning approach to ovarian cancer diagnostics that identifies metabolic patterns in the blood of women that has led to the discovery of a diagnostic test of unparalleled accuracy.
  • Algorithms that input the genomic profiles of individual patient tumors to predict optimal personalized drug therapies with high accuracy (84%).
  • Nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs directly to patient tumors bypassing the adverse side effects associated with current treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ovarian Cancer Research

Throughout the years of service we’ve dedicated to ovarian cancer research in the United States, we’ve come across questions that frequently get asked. You can read those questions and answers below, but please feel free to contact us with further questions:

Ovarian cancer research helps us and other doctors across the United States better understand the disease, how we can detect it, and how to better treat it. Several ovarian cancer research categories include basic, translational, clinical, and population research. By using all these types of studies, we can hopefully get the answers necessary to lessen the impact of this disease.

Not only could current patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer benefit from our research, but primarily those in the future will see the most benefit. Breakthroughs in early detection help us and other physicians catch the cancer before it reaches its late stages. Treatment becomes much more difficult once it gets to stage 3.

Funding helps us develop medication for treatments, as well ovarian cancer research funding helps with early detection testing. We can also help those currently undergoing treatments by monitoring the effects. Your charitable donations also help ensure the equipment in the research facility and hospital is up to modern standards.

How You Can Assist With Ovarian Cancer Research

Joining our mailing list goes a long way in terms of support because you are helping by spreading the word about what we are attempting to accomplish. Awareness is critical for diseases such as ovarian cancer. You can also host a fundraising event or volunteer at one of our many occasions throughout the year in the Metro Atlanta area. If you or someone you love is currently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, or you have lost someone to the battle, please consider starting a tribute fund with an online custom page in place of flowers. We’re always happy to help, so if you have any questions about how you can contribute outside of a donation, please do not hesitate to call.
