World Ovarian Cancer Day, 8 May 2025

World Ovarian Cancer Day, observed annually on 8 May, is a global initiative to raise awareness, share knowledge, and inspire action in the fight against ovarian cancer. World Ovarian Cancer Day reminds us that every woman, no matter where she lives or what her circumstances are, deserves access to the knowledge, resources, and care that could save her life. Awareness saves lives. Early detection and timely treatment make a difference. To mark this important day, we are proud to present a curated collection of articles and Special Issues, dedicated to groundbreaking research and innovative approaches in ovarian cancer. We invite readers to explore these contributions and join us in supporting the global fight against ovarian cancer.
