PHI Research



Ovarian cancer is often described as a silent killer. It is projected that over 1500 women across Australia will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008. While it is less common than breast cancer it is more than twice as lethal. PHI researchers are working to identify specific cancer proteins in blood and their ultimate aim is to develop a blood test to detect early stage ovarian cancer. Earlier diagnosis could hugely improve the prospects for women with the disease.

A Night of Song

On Friday 20 June over 800 people attended a gala Prince Henry's Institute concert at Melbourne Town Hall. The aim of the event was to raise public awareness and support for ovarian cancer research.

The concert was presented by Prince Henry's Institute in conjunction with partners the Rotary Club of Moonee Valley and the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. Australian group Pot-Pourri sang popular songs from opera and musical theatre. Following the concert VIP ticket holders attended a supper reception at Melbourne Town Hall.
