Support groups

In Europe, there are some ovarian cancer patient advocacy groups, which help patients and their families to navigate the epithelial ovarian cancer landscape. They can be local, national or international, and they work to ensure patients receive appropriate and timely care and education. These groups can provide you with the tools you may need to help you better understand your disease, and to learn how to cope with it, living the best quality of life that you can. The European Network of Gynaecological Cancer Advocacy Group is a network of European patient advocacy groups (ENGAGE) that was established in 2012 to help provide information and support to patients affected by gynaecological cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer.
