Research Moves Us Forward
Your support continues the momentum to find more effective ovarian cancer treatments, an early detection test and one day—a cure.
“We cannot make strides toward more effective treatment options without more research,” said Stephanie.Stephanie, an ovarian cancer survivor, and her husband Steve ran in the TC 10-Mile for MOCA this fall.
Diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2025, Stephanie took part in a promising clinical trial at the University of Minnesota. The trial combined traditional chemotherapy with an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Today, Stephanie is receiving maintenance therapy and staying active. She even ran the 10-mile race at the Twin Cities Marathon to support MOCA.
“My clinical trial provided me with a treatment that was successful for me and had very few side effects… This should be the goal for every woman facing this diagnosis. We can’t get there without research,” shared Stephanie.Dr. Britt Erickson of the University of Minnesota, who leads the trial Stephanie participated in, emphasized the importance of continued investment in ovarian cancer research.
“MOCA has a strong history of being committed to ovarian cancer care and research. I would encourage everyone to continue to support MOCA so that we can look back at this time and say, ‘look at the progress we’ve made together,’” said Dr. Erickson.
Your Gift Continues the Momentum
Every step we take today means hope for survivors like Stephanie and so many others.
Stephanie’s story reminds us how research can change lives, but we know there’s more work to be done.
