Why Join Us:

The CU Anschutz Ovarian Cancer Innovations Group (OCIG), led by esteemed experts Saketh Guntupalli, MD, and Kian Behbakht, MD, MBA, was established in September 2023 at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Committed to advancing research, prevention, and early detection of ovarian cancer, OCIG brings together a diverse team of researchers, clinicians, and innovators dedicated to combating this disease.

Ovarian Cancer originates in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal wall). There are three (3) main types: Epithelial, Germ cell, and Stromal tumors. Epithelial tumors are most common, while Germ cells and Stromal tumors are rare. Like all cancers, ovarian cancer develops from genetic mutations in single cells, allowing them to reproduce uncontrollably and invade nearby tissues, eventually spreading to distant organs. For more information about the symptoms, diagnosis, and stages of ovarian cancer, please visit the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center's Ovarian Cancer webpage.

Despite progress made in managing ovarian cancers over the past two decades, challenges persist, such as late-stage diagnosis, high recurrence rates, treatment resistance, and poor patient survival rates. The CU Anschutz Ovarian Cancer Innovation Group (OCIG) strives to transform ovarian cancer care by pioneering cutting-edge approaches for detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
