The strength of community
Together, we can enable women affected by gynaecological cancer to live better, longer lives.
Honour Her is an initiative of WomenCan, fundraising for the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG).
By harnessing the power of community, WomenCan supports state-of-the-art research and clinical trials that are creating real change for women affected by gynaecological cancer.
About gynaecological cancer
This year, 6800 Australian women will be told they have gynaecological cancer. That’s 19 women every day.
Gynaecological cancers are cancers of the female reproductive system. There are seven types:
| • Ovarian (fallopian tube) | • Vaginal |
| • Uterine (endometrial) | • Cervical |
| • Vulval | • Two rare pregnancy - related cancers |
They are the third most common cancers in women, but they can be hard to diagnose and only one (cervical cancer) has a routine screening test.
They also have a much lower survival rate than other cancers – while 9 out of 10 women survive breast cancer five years after diagnosis, this number drops to 5 out of 10 for ovarian cancer.
About WomenCan
Our mission is to engage the community to fund pioneering discoveries that enable women with a gynaecological cancer to live better and live longer.
We support the national gynaecological cancer research group (ANZGOG), by funding innovative gynaecological cancer research and clinical trials.
WomenCan believes the power of the collective, united in a common purpose, can make a real difference in the lives of women with gynaecological cancers.
We have seen first-hand how strong, determined and courageous women are in the face of a life-threatening disease. We believe that WomenCan be even stronger with you, the community, by their side.
