Live Sundays · 1-3pm PT · 4-6pm ET


A Post-ASCO Discussion of
an Ovarian Cancer Study


This Sunday in The Group Room we'll focus on one of the studies that was just recently presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and has since provoked a lot of reaction from ovarian cancer patients and advocates.  It suggests that earlier detection and treatment of recurrent disease using the CA125 test does not impact survival or benefit clinical outcome. We'll be joined by leading physicians on this topic, The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, and women living with ovarian cancer.  We invite you to share your own thoughts, questions and concerns on this controversial study here in TGR at 1-800-GRP-ROOM, and visit our new show website at  www.thegrouproom.tv.
