Because it\u2019s a rare ovarian cancer, it has been historically underfunded, leaving patients with limited options beyond surgery.\u201d A\/Prof Simon Chu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ovarian-cancer-is-the-most-lethal-gynaecological-cancer\">Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in high-potential research is the answer to increasing the survival rate of women. A\/Prof Chu\u2019s research on a rare type of ovarian cancer, granulosa cell tumours (GCT), has found that nearly all women with this cancer carry a mutation in the FOXL2 gene, which interacts with a key family of proteins to drive tumour growth. He aims to block this interaction using cutting-edge technology, and develop a targeted treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Campbell\u2019s research focusses on a new immunotherapy that targets high-grade serous ovarian cancer by focusing on a naturally produced protein known as interferon epsilon, which can help activate the immune system to protect against the cancer and prevent its spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImmune-based therapies have been really successful in treating other types of cancer, but not so effective against ovarian cancer. Our data shows that interferon epsilon primarily works through activation of the immune system, and it\u2019s most effective against metastatic tumour cells.\u201d Dr Nicole Campbell.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ocrf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"378\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ocrf.jpg\" alt=\"OCRF Logo\" class=\"wp-image-69307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ocrf.jpg 378w, https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ocrf-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s OCRF grants totalling $3.5 million (raised by the OCRF\u2019s generous community) is granted to eight ovarian cancer researchers in five Australian institutions focussed on treatments and early detection ovarian cancer research and marks the biggest gift distribution in the Foundation\u2019s 25-year history. One of the most challenging aspects of ovarian cancer is the diversity and complexity of the disease, so it\u2019s vital to support research into the rarer subtypes, to ensure better outcomes for all those impacted by ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe we are on the cusp of change for ovarian cancer. For too long the statistics have been stubborn and progress toward effective methods of early detection, and development of enduring successful treatments, has been too slow,\u201d said Robin Penty, OCRF\u2019s Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Hudson Institute projects offer enormous hope to the many whose lives are upturned by ovarian cancer, and our researchers are very grateful for the funding. \u201cThanks to you, we come to work every day knowing there\u2019s an entire community backing us, helping to drive new discoveries in ovarian cancer research. Breakthroughs take a team, and we are incredibly grateful to have the OCRF community\u2019s support for ours. Thank you!\u201d said A\/Prof Chu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"block--read-more-banner flex z-20 text-blue-800 bg-blue-100 border-l-4 border-blue-500 px-5 py-3 mb-5 sm:mb-8 \">\n        <p
