Early diagnosis of #OvarianCancer could raise survival to 90% - but it’s hard to detect. At @TCDTMI, Dr. Sharon O’Toole & Marika Kanjuga are developing a blood test to catch it earlier. Funded by Breakthrough Cancer Research & the Attracta O’Regan Fund 💙 #WOCD2025 @OvCancerDay

Well done Faye on this! It’s exciting to see your work published on #CTCs in rare ovarian cancers, especially the fact that the circulating tumour cells seem to be disseminating into the blood at an early stage. @CancerInstIRE
🚨New publication alert!🚨 If you're interested in ovarian cancer metastasis or liquid biopsies, check out my latest paper in the European Journal of Surgical Oncology! 🔗 https://t.co/A3kyTHlk5B🔗 Huge thanks to the patients, families, & staff @stjamesdublin 🩸✨
