Who Are We? Finding the Key to Long-Term Survival for All Women

What is different about long-term (10+ years) survivors? Is it something about the patient or the tumor or both? What are the long-term consequences of the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer? Finding the Key to Long-Term Survival for All Women
