Personal Stories of OCCC Patients
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a unique and relatively uncommon histologic type of ovarian epithelial cancer.1 Some research suggested that its gene expression and drug response profiles might be much more similar to renal (kidney) and endometrial (lining of uterus) clear cell carcinomas than other histologic types of ovarian epithelial cancer.2
We collect personal stories of OCCC patients and make them available to anyone who wishes to know about their plights and fights.
