Gynecological Cancers Sponsorship
Sponsor the team of researchers fighting gynecological cancers
Month after month, your sponsorship accelerates research on gynecological cancers, leading to new breakthroughs
Endometrial, cervical, and ovarian (or fallopian tube) cancers are the most common types of cancers of the female reproductive system, affecting nearly 15,000 new cases among women each year in France.
Ovarian cancer is a cancer with subtle symptoms. It affects nearly 4,500 women and is responsible for 3,150 deaths per year in France.
Often diagnosed too late, it is difficult to cure. Research is one of the ways to try to detect it earlier and find new treatments.
Endometrial and cervical cancers are more often diagnosed at a localized stage, and many can be cured with local treatment. Unfortunately, in the event of a relapse, there is often no effective treatment.
It is for these patients that the high-level expertise of Dr. Alexandra Leary’s research team is absolutely essential; it is for them that your donation makes a direct difference.
- 3 types of cancer: ovarian or peritoneal cancer, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer
- More than 14,000 new cases per year
- More than 6,000 deaths each year
Through your sponsorship, become a driving force for innovation and accelerate research on gynecological cancers, directly benefiting patients!
Innovating to improve treatment for gynecologic cancers: three flagship research programs:
● Identifying biomarkers of efficacy in tumor samples and targeting DNA
repair defects ● Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to available
treatments ● Identifying effective immunotherapies for gynecologic cancers
Goal: to develop new therapies for gynecologic cancers
Benefits for patients:
● Access to personalized
treatment ● Improved survival rates for women with gynecologic cancer
Annual program budget: €150,000
Becoming a sponsor means taking part in a great scientific adventure every day
What if, for just €8.50 a month*, you could help accelerate research on gynecological cancers?
With a regular donation of at least 25 € per month (or 8.50 € after tax deduction), you become a valued partner of your research team.
Your sponsorship provides essential support to bring innovative projects against gynecological cancers to fruition.
Our research on gynecological
cancers will move forward thanks to you
Prof. Alexandra Leary, Medical Oncologist and Head of the Translational Research Laboratory on Gynecologic Cancers
“Sponsoring research on gynecologic cancers is essential…because it represents a commitment to the fight against ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. This program demonstrates to the scientific community and the industry that it is essential to develop new, innovative, and effective therapies for these diseases that have been neglected for far too long. It also sends an important and positive message to patients affected by these cancers—which are still too poorly understood—that they are a priority for oncology research.”
Dr. Elisa Yaniz, Researcher in the Translational Research Laboratory on Gynecologic Cancers
“Thanks to the support of our sponsors… we are conducting laboratory research projects based on questions raised by gynecologic oncologists to propose new treatment strategies for patients. Meeting with our sponsors every year is a very enriching opportunity for sharing and exchange. It allows us to better understand the concerns of patients affected by gynecologic cancer, as well as those of sponsors whose motivation may be more indirect but is often deeply personal as well.”
