Clearly, the
best way to deal with ovarian cancer is not to get it. But if you do, probably the best place to be
is New York City, where you can access the facilities of the Sloan Kettering

Boston, the Dana Farber Cancer Center probably is just as good.* But just don’t
get it; or, if you do, catch it early.
Knowing a lot about your genetic makeup would help, but for most of us
that’s difficult, and expensive.

Farber researcher has summarized some new treatment options, explained
below. Make sure your oncologist knows
this stuff; my guess is that a fair number of them don’t.

*And, if you
live on the west coast, SCCA and Fred Hutch are the ones to consult.
