LGSOC disproportionately affects younger womenToday.com recently featured a story about STAAR board member Emma Schlamm, who first experienced symptoms of LGSOC when she was 25. Read her story here.

Why STAAR?STAAR was founded in 2020 when three women facing low-grade serous ovarian cancer recognized the urgent need for dedicated funding and support—a need unmet by the larger charities.
The foundation exists to fund research for better treatment options for low-grade serous carcinoma, a rare (about 5% of ovarian cancer cases) and extremely underfunded ovarian cancer. |
