September 9 is LGSOC Awareness Day
What is Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC) Awareness Day?
In 2024, STAAR established September 9 as LGSOC Awareness Day—one day during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to focus on low-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Many people living with LGSOC had never heard of the disease before they were diagnosed with it. STAAR connects newly diagnosed patients with the resources they need and is a community where no one has to feel alone in the fight.
LGSOC Awareness Day is the time to spread the word about the symptoms of low-grade serous ovarian cancer and the need for more research. Share the signs. Save a life.

You can also show support by participating in STAAR's annual Step Up America for Ovarian Cancer campaign in September by creating an event or fundraiser.
Throughout the month, we support individuals in creating their own events to fundraise for research and spread awareness about the symptoms of low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). We welcome events as large as a city-wide 5k and as small as a group of friends getting together for coffee. This year we also have the Step Up America Step Challenge creating an easy way to participate for those who can't host an event!
All participants can also request a Step Up T-Shirt with common LGSOC symptoms on the back to help spread awareness!
