Much was learned from ICRF-funded researcher Prof. Ruth Perets, during a discussion about ovarian cancer ⬇️

Prof. Perets is a physician-scientist and medical oncologist specializing in gynecological cancers. Supported by The Beverley Librach Abshez Initiative for Ovarian and Female Reproductive System Cancers Grant, her research is deepening our understanding of how high-grade serous ovarian cancer begins– and paving the way for improved prevention, earlier detection, and more effective treatment.
