The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) raises awareness about ovarian cancer and promotes education about this disease. Committed volunteers continue to build a network of NOCC Divisions throughout the country to advance the ovarian cancer awareness movement in local communities. In September, NOCC sponsors an aggressive national public information campaign for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The NOCC has a toll-free number for information, referral, support, and education about ovarian cancer. The NOCC also offers support groups, a national newsletter, a link to a database of gynecologic oncologists searchable by state, and educational materials on issues such as symptoms, risk factors, and treatment. The Coalition provides Continuing Medical Education programs for physicians and health care professionals. A limited selection of Spanish-language publications is available.
