The Manja Gideon Foundation has been educating in the field of ovarian cancer for years. And yet again this year, on World Ovarian Cancer Day – May 8, 2023 – the family-run organization will be holding an evening info session with the Zurich Cancer League. The event will take place in Winterthur. Spread the word – knowing the symptoms can save lives, especially with this type of cancer!
