Early access to molecular profiling could change the story for women like Alex.
Alex was among the 90% of women with a gynaecological cancer who don’t currently have access to molecular profiling and precision medicine.1
A former psychologist and loving mum of four, Alex one day received a call from her gynaecologist with news she never wanted to hear.
It was endometrial cancer.
Desperate for more time with her family, she endured a hysterectomy, radiation and chemotherapy, without knowing if those treatments were likely to work for her.
Molecular profiling can help save women like Alex from gruelling treatments they don’t need – and give them access to clinical trials for lifesaving new medicines.
Today, 19 Australian women like Alex will be diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. All of them deserve to survive. But few of them will have access to the lifesaving benefits of molecular profiling and personalised treatment. Please help change this.
Donate by 30 June and your gift will be DOUBLED to help women like Alex get the best possible treatment every time.

Too many women in Australia are dying from gynaecological cancers
Today, 19 women will be diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer
6 women lose their life to a gynaecological cancer every day
90% of women who are diagnosed don't have access to molecular profiling which could change their outcome
You can fund the work to prevent it
We won't stop until every woman has access to the best possible cancer treatments

At WomenCan we’re committed to pushing cutting-edge gynaecological cancer research forward. But breakthroughs can only save lives if every woman has access to it. That is the potential of Molecular Profiling. Molecular profiling works by extracting DNA strands from a tumour sample, creating a detailed understanding of a woman’s unique cancer. |
"We know molecular profiling and access to clinical trials can significantly extend and improve lives. We must accelerate this progress to ensure no woman is left behind."
Professor Clare Scott AM, MBBS PhD FRACP FAHMS GAICD,
Chair, Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG)
With limited government funding and high costs, so many Australian women are still missing out on the treatments which could save their lives.
You have the power to change that. A tax-deductible donation before June 30 helps fund the education for clinicians and patients needed to make early molecular profiling a standard of care in Australia.
With all donations matched - dollar-for-dollar - now is the time to make that difference
Your gift could change the outcomes for thousands of women
"People ask if I’m in remission and I never know how to answer. I'm not in active treatment for cancer, but I'm on regular monitoring which feels at times as if we are just waiting around for the day it comes back."

"Funding into more research is everything for women like me. Without research, this drug trial that I am on would not exist and I would have died by now."
Christine
"I had this ticking time bomb in my pelvis, meanwhile, my children were still so young. I am determined to fight for more time with them"
