Clearity

Clearity Foundation strives to improve the survival and quality of life of women with ovarian cancer. We give hope to women with ovarian cancer and their families.

Founded in 2008 by scientist and survivor Laura Shawver, Ph.D., Clearity Foundation seeks to revolutionize ovarian cancer treatment. Every year, more than 22,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, survival improvements are decades behind other cancers. Clearity is working to change that.

Clearity believes that all women deserve the best possible therapies for their unique disease. To achieve this, we:

• Share the latest information on treatment options.
• Help women access the most useful and comprehensive tests to better understand the molecular profile of their cancer.
• Guide women to clinical trials where appropriate.
• Provide an online community with information and social support.

Clearity takes a comprehensive, hands-on approach to help women identify the treatments that may work best against their unique disease. Assessing their medical history, as well as tumor molecular profiles and other diagnostics, Clearity professionals help women and their physicians chart the most advantageous course of treatment.

When a treatment decision needs to be made, Clearity provides information about the standard options for each patient’s clinical situation, as well as access to genomic information about their cancer to help inform their decision-making.

Clearity exists to help women find credible information about their ovarian cancer and the treatments that can help them survive. We are scientists, but we also know that cancer’s impact goes way beyond a clinical diagnosis. Our goal is to understand each patient’s unique priorities and needs. That means long, purposeful discussions informed by both science and compassion.
