Ovarian Cancer & the Leading Research of Leader Cells with Dr. Maree Bilandzic

🩺 In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Maree Bilandzic, molecular cancer biologist, ovarian cancer advocate, and the first scientist in the world to identify and characterise leader cells in ovarian cancer a discovery that is fundamentally changing how scientitsts understand why this disease keeps coming back.

🔬 We get into why ovarian cancer is called the silent killer, why treatment hasn't changed in over 30 years, and what it actually means that this cancer starts in the fallopian tube something we only discovered a decade ago.

⚡ Dr. Bilandzic breaks down her landmark leader cell research what leader cells are, how they build immune fortresses to outsmart chemotherapy, and what her lab's novel therapy targeting them could mean for the 80% of women whose cancer returns.

🧬 We also cover the early detection tests being developed right now in Australia that could push survival rates from 30% to over 90%, why CA125 isn't the answer, and what to actually do if your intuition is telling you something is wrong.

💛 And we talk about what it means to do this work the grief, the hope, and the women who donate their tissue so their daughters don't have to go through what they did.
