 For our study on the early
detection of ovarian cancer, we are seeking women with newly diagnosed
or recurrent biopsy-confirmed ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary
peritoneal cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area to breathe through
a special tube prior to beginning treatment. We also need women with
endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome as well as healthy
women to give breath samples. Click

 THE
LATEST ON THE DOG TRAINING, LABORATORY PROGRESS, AND PATIENT RECRUITMENT
Is there meaningful information contained within a person's breath? Could this
information lead to the early detection of ovarian cancer? We’ve recently finalized
our team of five dogs who will be part of this ground breaking research. Click
here to learn more about the dogs that “made the cut.”
BUY ONE OR BUY A DOZEN
For our early detection of ovarian cancer project, every breath sample collection
tube costs about $23 and we'll be needing over a thousand of these specialized
devices for this study. You can help us cover the cost! Click

ANTIOXIDANTS & OVARIAN
CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests combining specific chemotherapy
treatments for ovarian cancer with certain antioxidants at defined dosages can
improve drug effectiveness or reduce the severity of side effects. Click

Founded in 1989, the Pine Street Foundation's mission is to help people
with cancer reach more informed treatment decisions through education and research.
This is accomplished
through
meta-analysis of medical literature
from around the globe and through the conduct of innovative clinical
trials. Critical to our efforts continues to be our emphasis on ensuring
the highest scientific quality of our research designs and trial data. Our
research program also supports and informs our education programs; by publishing
the results of our work in reputable medical journals, we are able to make
the results
of our efforts widely available to other researches, practitioners, and patients.
