Diagnosed with ovarian cancer?
Educate yourself with the
biomarker boost
Knowing your biomarkers can help you better understand your options at every stage of your journey. Even if you know your BRCA1/2 status, ask your doctor about testing for FRα, HER2, HRD, MMR, and MSI, because they may also impact your treatment decisions.
BRCA1/2=breast cancer gene mutation 1 or 2; FRα=folate receptor alpha; HER2=human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; HRD=homologous recombination deficiency; MMR=mismatch repair; MSI=microsatellite instability.
