OCEAN @MGH Tumor and Blood Bank
In collaboration with the Gynecologic Oncology Research Committee, OCEAN at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center committed significant financial support to develop and sustain the “OCEAN @MGH Comprehensive Tumor and Blood Bank for the Study of Ovarian Cancer.” The goal of the Bank is to collect tumor and blood samples from patients along with sufficient clinical information to enable answers to ovarian cancer research questions more quickly than would otherwise be possible. No other ovarian cancer research tumor bank of this magnitude and infrastructure exists in New England.

Family members donating to OCEAN in memory of loved ones who have died of ovarian cancer may be gratified knowing their donations are funding research projects to understand and ultimately reduce the occurrence and mortality of this disease. Support and financial assistance for the Bank will be a legacy to future generations of women at risk.

Seventh Anniversary Event
During the 7th anniversary event of OCEAN, a sizable check was made to the Tumor Bank. The money raised helps support the science of unraveling the ovarian cancer biology and helps to find a cure.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are subtle, persistent, and usually increase over time. 

They may include:

If your symptoms persist more than 4 weeks don't dismiss it! Take action! See your doctor!
