Hi Shashi, the drug that Sue's on is olaparib, also called by its brand name Lynparza. It is a treatment for some people with ovarian cancer who have mutations in their BRCA genes. The ICR's Professor Johann de Bono's group led on the development of this PARP inhibitor drug, that is now approved based on our work for the treatment of ovarian cancer. We hope this helps. Best wishes, ICR.

It’s a guide but not a true screening. They don’t have a true screening sadly. My CA levels and on a more sensitive test were good and normal. Nonetheless when a large cyst was removed cancer found, originating from Fallopian tube, with spec hitting two lymph nodes. ALL of it endo related. Perhaps in future screening can tie into better care for endo sufferers which was my entire menstrating life.
