The National Race to End Women’s Cancer, held November
6, 2011, in Washington, DC, surpassed even our very high
expectations. A great race grew into a great movement
filled with the commitment and passion of the over 2,200
participants, representing 176 fundraising teams. So
mark your calendar for Sunday, November 4, 2012,
and join us as the movement builds, and expands our
reach and our message.
We are extremely grateful to our physicians
— women’s cancer doctors — who guide and
participate in all of our programs by volunteering
countless hours each year.
And finally, we always are humbled and inspired
by the women whose lives have been touched by a
gynecologic cancer. What we do, we do for you and
the women who follow. We dedicate the 2011 Annual
Report to you.
Sincerely,
Karen J. Carlson
Executive Director
AWARENESS
The Oxford Modern English Dictionary defines “aware” as “meaning conscious, having
knowledge.” For the past twenty years, the Foundation for Women’s Cancer has
demonstrated its commitment to making women aware of the steps they can take to
prevent gynecologic cancers, to receive a diagnosis at the earliest possible time and
to be given the best post-diagnosis care.
Through its more than 28 publications available in print
and online, Hotline, award-winning Web site and media
outreach, the Foundation fervently strives to give women the
knowledge, tools and confidence to know when, how and
where to seek care when a gynecologic cancer is suspected
or diagnosed.
This September the Foundation launched its LEARN,
LISTEN, ACT campaign to encourage women to LEARN the
symptoms and warning signs of each gynecologic cancer,
LISTEN to their bodies, and ACT to take preventive steps
and seek care from a gynecologic oncologist if a gynecologic
cancer is suspected or diagnosed.
In early 2011, the Foundation changed its name from the
Gynecologic Cancer Foundation to the Foundation for
Women’s Cancer, signaling its intention to be more actively
engaged with women prior to a gynecologic cancer diagnosis
— to alert them to preventive steps and warning signs with
the hope that all gynecologic cancer can be diagnosed at the
earliest possible time, greatly increasing the chance of cure.
Since the Foundation declared the awareness month in
1999, thousands of advocates, academic health centers and
members of the public health community have joined us in
spreading messages about prevention strategies, risk factors,
early warning signs and where to receive care.
And here is a real awareness success story.
The Foundation’s National Cervical Cancer Public Education
Campaign engages young girls and women in a powerful
prevention campaign through its 1-2-3 message that implores
women and young girls to prevent cervical cancer by following
three simple steps: 1. Vaccinate early; 2. Pap test regularly;
and 3. HPV test when recommended. Twenty years ago it
was unimaginable that the second leading cause of cancer
death among women worldwide could be eliminated by taking
these three simple steps! The Foundation is very proud of its
collaboration with more than 30 national partners to bring its
1-2-3 message to every household in America.
September, Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month,
offers another special opportunity each year. A hallmark
of the month is the annual publication of the State of the
State of Gynecologic Cancer: A Report to the Women of
America. In its ninth publication in 2011, this year’s report will
chronicle the advances made during the past twenty years in
recognition of the Foundation’s 20th anniversary.
foundationforwomenscancer.org
And this has led to
a movement — the
Gynecologic Cancer
Awareness Movement.
Each November in
Washington, DC, the
gynecologic cancer community unites to rally the nation
through the National Race to End Women’s Cancer. This
year’s race was spectacular. Once again there was bright
sunshine in the Nation’s Capitol the first Sunday in November
when thousands gathered at Freedom Plaza to hear inspiring
stories, and run or walk to end women’s cancer! We sincerely
thank Gretchen Purser, 2011 National Chair, Jennie McGihon,
2011 Survivor Chair, and Debbie LeHardy, National Race to
End Women’s Cancer Race Director and her amazing team,
for making this year’s race unforgettable for the over 2,200
participants and the many, many supporters from around the
country and around the world!
See you November 4, 2012, in Washington, DC, for next
year’s race!

Research
One of the driving forces behind the creation of the Foundation for Women’s Cancer in
1991 was the recognition of the promise of better outcomes for women by ramping up
funding for research. Leaders of the Society for Gynecologic Oncology determined that
the most effective avenue to realize this promise was the formation of a separate
philanthropic foundation.
Now 20 years later, this vision has become reality.
In 1995, the Foundation for Women’s Cancer, formerly
the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation, awarded its first two
research grants. Since then 87 more promising young
researchers have received an award through a competitive
process overseen by the Research Grants and Awards
Committee.
Just this year the Foundation published its 20th
Anniversary Research Portfolio that chronicled
the research achievements resulting from the
89 “seed” grants using three measures of
success:

RESEARCH POR TFOLIO
• Did the grants enable and encourage
young gynecologic oncologists to pursue
a career as physician-scientists?
• Were the grant recipients able to parlay
their seed grants into sustained extramural
funding?
• Did the research funded by the Foundation lead to the
dissemination of knowledge?
On all three counts, the research program received an A+.
Ninety-four percent of recipients are pursuing research today
while caring for patients, allowing for an immediate bench
to bedside to bench translation. Second, the original $2.5M
in grant support has yielded $5.8M in extramural funding, a
23-fold return. And last, 325 peer-reviewed publications can
be attributed to the research begun during the original grant
period.
The Foundation intends to continue its stimulus grant program
with extreme gratitude to the families, family foundations and
corporate partners who have made this success possible. It is
2
critically important that funding for these grants continue given
the national decline in the number of physician-scientists
with broad implications for not just gynecologic oncology,
but also for obstetrics and gynecology and other biomedical
subspecialties.
Additionally, the majority of the stimulus grants were directed
toward ovarian cancer research. The Foundation is committed
to increasing research opportunities for both cervical and
uterine cancer, the most common gynecologic cancer. Based
upon the recent Research Summit convened by the Society
of Gynecologic Oncology, the Foundation soon will publish
a series entitled “Research Funding Frontiers” that will detail
research opportunities for the three primary gynecologic
cancers. It is hoped that these documents will spur
imagination and funding to expand the Foundation’s research
portfolio to include more research funding, especially for
cervical and uterine cancer.
And finally, discussions are underway about other funding
mechanisms to jumpstart promising research. The committee
plans to strengthen the program through multi-year,
interdisciplinary research with higher funding levels directed
toward senior investigators. In addition, other funding models
are under consideration, such as the venture capital model
whereby the Foundation would seek out the most promising
established researchers for funding. This approach has
the significant advantage of allowing these established
researchers to focus their research time without expending
the time and effort required to develop extensive grant
proposals.
And just as the leadership envisioned 20 years ago, the
Foundation for Women’s Cancer is succeeding in expanding
knowledge and improving outcomes for women through the
research funding.

Education
Where there is knowledge, there is hope.
“Everyone was excellent! Content was at an understandable level. Topics & organization of
lectures were well presented. Stayed in time limits, interesting, the physicians showed their
humanity. I felt HOPE! Thank you for your passion.”
~ Evaluation from a participant in the Ovarian Cancer Survivors Course held on
Saturday, April 9, 2011, in Albuquerque, NM, in partnership with the University of New Mexico.
The courses also are a labor of love for the
Foundation staff, who works diligently to
ensure that everyone at each course has
everything needed to gain the most from
the course curriculum. This curriculum is
developed by the Foundation’s Education
Committee chaired by a gynecologic
oncologist, who collaborates with other
committee members and staff to carefully
review the evaluations from each course
and amend the curriculum when warranted.
Since the Foundation for Women’s Cancer held its first
survivors course in 1997, literally thousands of women have
expressed similar views about their experience at one of the
47 courses held in 24 states throughout the country.
These courses truly exemplify the heart of the Foundation and
our members, gynecologic oncologists, who volunteer their
weekend time to share vital information with women living
with a gynecologic cancer. These highly skilled physicians
actually vie to become part of the faculty because of
their heartfelt commitment to patients.

For women unable to travel to a course, the Foundation
also hosts telephone workshops to enable women to gain
information in the comfort of their home or office. A new
working group has been formed to investigate other distant
learning opportunities, including Webinars.
These courses are offered free of charge to survivors, and
their families and friends because of the generosity of our
partners. These courses began as a once-a-year event
offered in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Society
of Gynecologic Oncology. Now our partners include academic
health centers and advocacy groups in addition to our
corporate partners, enabling us to offer multiple courses in
multiple cities each year.
The Foundation also houses an extensive library of materials
primarily geared to assist women living with a gynecologic
cancer. In addition to those now available, more brochures
are planned for women at risk for a gynecologic cancer with
the hope that the knowledge provided will help them prevent
these cancers or secure a diagnosis at the earliest and more
ncer.org
curable stages. Our latest brochure, LEARN, LISTEN, ACT
to Maintain Your Gynecologic Health, encourages women to
Learn the symptoms and warning signs of each gynecologic
cancer, Listen to their bodies, and Act to take preventive
steps and seek care from a gynecologic oncologist when a
gynecologic cancer is suspected or diagnosed.
All of the Foundation’s brochures are available both in print
and electronic format. Despite current trends, there remains a
high demand for printed material. Each year the Foundation
ships approximately 48,000 brochures in response to
requests from individual women, advocacy organizations,
government agencies, health departments, academic center
centers, physician’s offices, civic organizations and others.
A complete list and a brochure order form can be found
in the “Educational Materials” section of our Web site,
foundationforwomenscancer.org.
