Elizabeth's Wish Initiatives

Elizabeth's Wish is collaborating with several university research teams with the goal of supporting larger pilot studies involving Ovarian Cancer Symptom Questionnaires. This aims to marry the introduction of advanced data mining techniques ultimately finding the most cost effective and efficient way to capture Ovarian Cancer diagnoses at stage 1 or 2, rather than 3 or 4. 

Elizabeth's Wish is engaging with local cancer hospitals in Philadelphia to utilize existing hospital data to identify the existence of early symptoms in patients that were later diagnosed with late stage Ovarian Cancer. This partnership promotes the use of a patient questionnaire to pre-screen for early symptoms of Ovarian Cancer, which can be further expanded to other settings.  

New technology, clinical trails and cutting edge research is underway aimed at developing new laboratory testing to more accurately detect ovarian cancer in its earliest stages. 

Elizabeth's Wish is actively establishing partnerships with other non-profit and for-profit companies who share the same mission.

Stay tuned for more information about these collaborations.

Our aim is to make the symptom cluster of Ovarian Cancer widely recognized.. We want all women, and in fact, people of all genders, diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic groups to be as familiar with the symptoms of ovarian cancer as they are with breast cancer.  That took time to be part of our common language and so will it too for ovarian cancer.
