Continuing our collaborative series with Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC), we are pleased to welcome our next guest, Dr. Alicia Tone. In this episode, Dr. Tone shares the personal story of how her work with real women living with ovarian cancer continues to inspire and motivate her work. Dr. Tone elaborates on the critical role of patient involvement in advancing ovarian cancer research and how OCC ensures patient-centeredness in many areas of their work. She also outlines the resources available for scientists in the ovarian cancer field such as an extensive collaborative network of researchers, clinicians, trainees, and patients, funding opportunities, specimen bank and others.
