Informative Libby's H*O*P*E post on the Cancer Genome Report on Ovarian Cancer

For the past few years I have been following a blog written by Paul C. called "Libby's H*O*P*E- *Helping *Ovarian Cancer Survivors* Persevere Through* Education. He began the blog as an effort to help his cousin Libby , diagnosed at the age of 25 , find information about ovarian cancer.

On August 5th, he wrote a post on the recent Ovarian Cancer Genome Report. If you want to learn more about the subtypes and demographics of ovarian cancer, the cellular pathways that cause and influence the disease & potential treatments , you should read this post. It is a long article but the explanations are well- written and worth the time.
Feel free to contact Paul if you have any questions.

The Clearity Foundation & Molecular Profiling for Ovarian Cancer Patients

Yesterday I read a post on Libby's H*O*P*E Blog called

Caris Life Sciences Launches Molecular Profiling Service For Ovarian Cancer Patients

I learned about the launch of a new profiling test for ovarian cancer patients produced by Caris Life Sciences. Please hop on over to Libby's H*O*P*E and read Paul's excellent summary of this service.

The article also included a note about the Clearity Foundation. The Foundation a 501(3) (c) non-profit provides molecular profiling tests at no cost to ovarian cancer survivors. The Foundation was founded my Dr. Laura Shawver who was diagosed with ovarian cancer in 2006. When a woman provides her tumor for a molecular profile or "Blueprint" she agrees to have her data become part of the larger database. For more information please contact the Foundation at info@clearityfoundation.org

Every Day is a Blessing! I am so pleased to learn that more research is being done to understand the molecular profile of different types of ovarian cancer cells.
