RECAPPING THE 2025 NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

OVER TWO ENGAGING EVENINGS, PARTICIPANTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAME TOGETHER TO LEARN, CONNECT, AND GAIN VALUABLE INSIGHTS ON OVARIAN CANCER.
This year’s program featured leading experts who shared the latest information on key topics including returning to work after cancer, early detection research, clinical trials, advocacy, and living well beyond diagnosis. Attendees heard how Ovarian Cancer Canada is accelerating research in Canada and driving progress to improve outcomes for all those affected.

Attendees brought their insights and questions to the discussion, and the Symposium created an important space for people living with ovarian cancer, caregivers, friends, and families to build connections.
