The Eggtober Foundation raises awareness and funds for gynaecological cancer units, professional, patient and community education and research. Gynaecological cancers have very grim statistics and are known as silent killers as most are not detected until at an advanced stage when the prognosis is poor. One woman dies every 10 hours from ovarian cancer. The 5 year survival rate is only 42%. The Eggtober Foundation aspires to have one gynaecological care nurse for every gynaecological cancer sufferer. Through our website, the mass media, political advocacy and presentations to community groups we promote the cause of women with gynaecological cancers. Through its endeavours The Eggtober Foundation aims to offer women better health outcomes, improved survival rates and ultimately through research find a cure.
