There is no reliable early detection test for ovarian cancer. If it is caught early, it can be successfully treated in 90+% of the cases. However, most patients are diagnosed in the later stages when the disease is more difficult to treat. The Laura Crandall Brown Foundation was established in 2010 by family and friends of Laura Crandall Brown who died of ovarian cancer in December of 2009. Our mission is offering hope through research for early detection of ovarian cancer, empowering communities through gynecologic cancer awareness, and enriching lives through support.
The Laura Crandall Brown Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
