Penn Ovarian Cancer Research Center Grateful to the Philadelphia Antiques Show

This week, The Philadelphia Antiques Show wrapped up another amazing display of fine furniture, folk art and decorative arts.  The 2011 show marked it’s 50th year as the major fundraiser for Penn Medicine in support of innovative programs that directly impact patient care.

The Penn Ovarian Cancer Research Center (OCRC) would like to express it's sincere thanks to the Philadelphia Antiques Show as this year’s proceeds benefit the program. The center aims to make innovative immunotherapeutic ovarian cancer treatment available to more women in the Philadelphia region. Immunotherapy uses T-cells from patients' own tumors to develop vaccines that help fight the disease. This personalized therapy improves survival rates and offers women affected by ovarian cancer a better quality of life.
