The Delaware Ovarian Cancer Foundation (DOCF), a nonprofit organization, was founded and established in 2009 by Dorianne Short, an ovarian cancer survivor, diagnosed in 2003.

The mission of the Delaware Ovarian Cancer Foundation is threefold: to increase ovarian cancer awareness and education about ovarian cancer among women and healthcare professionals in Delaware and the surrounding vicinity, to support women affected by ovarian cancer, and to promote research in the fight against this deadly women's disease.

Print the DOCF Brochure to share with the women in your life. This brochure contains information about DOCF and, more importantly, about ovarian cancer, including symptoms, risk factors, facts and figures, diagnosing and treatment options.

DOCF is a 501 (c)(3) charity organization.  Donations are tax deductible.

Talk - Most importantly...Talk to your family, friends and co-workers, and other women you know, to ensure they are aware of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and the risk factors.

Remember, until there is a reliable test,
awareness is best.
