A CHARITY is raising awareness of new treatments for women with ovarian cancer.
Weymouth-based cancer charity, GO Girls, is raising awareness of the new treatments as part of this year’s ovarian cancer awareness month.
Treatments for ovarian cancer have remained static for many years, however, a new range of drugs known as PARP inhibitors, are bringing hope to women who are diagnosed with this type of cancer.
Hilary Maxwell, CEO and chair of GO Girls, said: “This is such exciting news for women. We’ve been waiting a long time for newer treatments: this is the first sign of hope women with ovarian cancer have been waiting for and research has shown positive results for many women.
