Cancer Conversations Episode 67
During this episode of Cancer Conversations on Talking FACS, host Mindy McCulley sits down with Dr. Charles Dietrich, Associate Professor of Gynecologic Oncology and Medical Co‑Director of the Ovarian Cancer Research Screening Program at UK Markey Cancer Center. They discuss the long‑running, free ovarian cancer research screening effort across Kentucky.
When discussing the Ovarian Cancer Research Screening program, a long-term research program, they address:
- who is eligible
- where screenings are offered
- how abnormal findings are managed, and
- barriers to participation.
Dr. Dietrich reviews program outcomes — more than 50,000 women screened since 1988 with ~130 cancers detected, many at earlier stages with markedly better cure rates — and outlines future plans to refine screening with additional biochemical tests and expanded sites.
