The DOVE Project

31 January 2008

Imagine going to the doctor because of minor concerns and being told that you have advanced ovarian cancer, which is incurable. Unfortunately, every year almost 3,000 Canadian women are in this situation. Fortunately, there’s hope…

I’m Lucy Gilbert, Chief of Gynecological Oncology at the McGill University Health Centre, where we are now hard at work on a program called Detecting Ovarian Cancer Early, or the DOVE project. Through rigorous research, we’re creating a tool that will help diagnose this deadly cancer before it’s too late.

Lifesaving research like the DOVE project is the lifeblood of the McGill University Health Centre. You can give hope to women facing this silent killer by supporting the Best Care for Life campaign. It’s for our patients and families—our community. It’s for life.
