HPV is common, often has no symptoms, and in some cases, persistent high-risk infections can lead to cancer years later. That’s why awareness and prevention matter.

HPV is linked to several cancers, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, a**l, pe**le, and oropharyngeal cancers. The good news? HPV vaccination can prevent more than 90% of cancers caused by HPV.

Stay informed, know your risk, and talk with your healthcare provider about vaccination and recommended screenings. 💜

At just 34 years old, Valisia LeKae was diagnosed with ovarian clear cell carcinoma, a rare form of ovarian cancer.

Following her diagnosis, she became a National Spokesperson for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, using her platform to raise awareness, encourage women to know their bodies and understand their risks, and educate others about ovarian cancer.

She also joined Mount Sinai’s “Know Your Body, Know Your Risk” campaign, sharing her story to help bring greater attention to ovarian cancer risk assessment and early detection. Valisia’s work is a powerful example of turning a personal diagnosis into a voice for awareness, education, and change. 💜

Early detection can make a life-changing difference when it comes to ovarian cancer. Yet too often, the disease is not found until it has already progressed.

This is why continued research into earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately a cure is so critical. At the Katie Oppo Research Fund, we remain committed to supporting the research that can change outcomes and save lives. 💜
