How You Can Help
39
Message from the Founder & Chairman
Thank you for your vital role in promoting research to advance science’s understanding of the prevention, early detection,
and improved treatment of ovarian cancer. Your participation is so important. The Rivkin Center does not receive federal
support. Instead we leverage private philanthropy to encourage leading researchers and research institutions to prioritize this
disease and to foster novel research that can further influence the direction of larger federal funding towards ovarian cancer.
With your help we continue to achieve progress in our mission to save lives and reduce suffering through improved
treatment, early detection, and prevention of ovarian cancer. The best and the brightest are working to find a solution. But to
truly reach a breakthrough in the mortality of this disease, it will require an increased and sustained effort from the scientific
and public communities alike. Without this support many promising research directions would not be possible.
I am so inspired and grateful each year by the dedication of our donors, our staff, and our partners at Swedish Medical
Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. 2009 was a remarkable year because of you. Thank you again for your
support and hard work. Together that can we provide the best possible hope for women and their families today and tomorrow.
Warm regards,

Message from the Board President
At the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, we passionately believe in the power to make a difference in how ovarian cancer is
detected, treated, and prevented. As you will learn in this 2009 report, our effort continues to provide a major influence on national and international
research studies and to fund key projects to expand our understanding of the disease.
Despite the economic challenges we all faced last year, the Rivkin Center continued to grow and set new records of support from the community.
A wonderful example of this was the 2009 Swedish SummeRun, where we welcomed more participants and raised more money than ever before in
fifteen-year history of the event. Equally, the generosity demonstrated at 9th Annual Fisher Family & Friends Auction and Golf Invitational highlighted
a commitment from our community that is both inspirational for me personally and so greatly appreciated by all of us involved.
As a result, the Rivkin Center has been able to grow its funding for innovative translational research with Pilot Study grants for novel research
investigations and Scientific Scholar Awards to up-and-coming researchers to ensure that the best and brightest minds have the support to choose a career
focused on ovarian cancer. Additionally, 2009 saw increased enrollment in our Early Detection Ovarian Cancer Screening program for women that have
hereditary factors and/or a medical history that place her at high risk to develop the disease.
It is only with the remarkable generosity of our donors, the tireless commitment of many volunteers, advocates, staff, and the dedicated support
of our partners at Swedish Medical Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, that the Rivkin Center is able to continue our resolute
effort to eradicate this disease.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of us at the Rivkin Center, thank you for an incredible 2009 and your invaluable partnership in the
fight against ovarian cancer.
Sincerely,

Message from the Scientific & Medical Director
In 2009 the Marsha Rivkin Center Board made a tremendous impact on the ovarian cancer research community by increasing the size of our
Pilot Study Awards and Scientific Scholar Awards to an annual amount of $75,000 and $60,000, respectively.
The response from the research community was a doubling in the number of applications received for funding. The quality and scope of the
research proposals received increased greatly. From these excellent proposals, we chose awardees with wide-ranging projects from delving into the role
of ovulation in ovarian cancer development, to identifying novel targets for cisplatin resistance, to creating better imaging tools for the ovaries and
fallopian tubes.
In 2009 we successfully transferred logistical operations of the Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Screening Program from the Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center to Swedish Cancer Institute’s Research Division. This Screening Program is offered free of charge to women at high risk of
developing ovarian cancer in order to monitor them for the disease and to provide data and resources to researchers who are developing better tools
for early detection. To date we have had over 120 women enrolled in the Swedish-run Screening Program which is funded entirely by the Marsha
Rivkin Center. Eventually we are aiming to increase enrollment to 750 women over the next several years.
By supporting these Scientific Programs today, we can look forward to critical break-throughs in our understanding of the cause, detection,
and treatment of ovarian cancer in the near future. The Marsha Rivkin Center is poised to bring ovarian cancer research to the next level of success.

Pilot Study Awards
Funding is often difficult to find for
discovery work leading up to the most
innovative scientific theories. In order
to foster these novel ideas, each year, the
Marsha Rivkin Center funds promising
pilot studies in ovarian cancer. The
discoveries from these studies in turn lay the
groundwork for major research initiatives.
Data gathered from these studies often allow
scientists to in turn further pursue research
ideas through larger highly competitive
national government grants.

Ovarian Cancer Early
Detection Screening Program
Southwest Oncology Group
Efforts to advance clinical detection of ovarian cancer in its early stages, when survival
rates are much higher, are of crucial importance to the Marsha Rivkin Center. In 2009
the Rivkin Center continued to provide women throughout Washington State who are
identified at high risk for developing ovarian cancer with advanced, evidence-based
screening procedures that can indicate the presence of early stage ovarian cancer.
The screening program identifies high-risk women, based on their genetic or medical
histories, and provides them with the best available screening procedures, at no cost to
them, on a regular, on-going basis in order to maximize the likelihood that, if they do
develop ovarian cancer, it will be discovered at an early stage when their chances for
survival may be as high as 90%.
“This program is so important not only
because it gives me the opportunity to provide
researchers with information and tools that
they need to further their research in early
detection, but because it offers me a ‘safety
net’ for my own health. I had no second
thoughts about participating – the choice
was obvious.”
~Rachel Prouser Marenstein
Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Screening
Program Participant

Women who participate in the screening program are also enrolled in an on-going
research study that is investigating the success of early detection efforts in improving
ovarian cancer survival rates. For this study, health information, clinical data,
and blood samples are collected from each participant and stored into an existing
database and tissue bank. Currently, this repository contains over 200,000 unique
tissue samples, fluid, and blood specimens. These resources can be used for current
and future research efforts that increase medical science’s understanding of ovarian
cancer and may lead to new techniques that will provide better screening tests for
early detection. Women enrolled in the program will be among the first in the nation
with access to novel biomarkers when they become available for use in screening for
ovarian cancer.
In 2008 the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research awarded a $250,000
grant over five years to the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) for the purpose
of reactivating its Gynecologic Cancer Committee (GCC). This grant to the
philanthropic arm of SWOG, the Hope Foundation, will revitalize the focus of SWOG
on gynecologic malignancies and aligns with the Marsha Rivkin Center’s mission
to save lives and reduce suffering through improved treatment, early detection, and
prevention of ovarian cancer.
The GCC coordinates education and research initiatives for clinical trials which
will examine new therapies used to treat gynecologic malignancies. The focus of the
committee will be working with medical oncologists on innovative phase I/II and
phase II trials which will shift the discoveries made by the National Cancer Institute’s
(NCI) Ovarian Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE)
laboratories into the clinical arena. Laboratory-based discoveries can be converted
into useful clinical tools only after being carefully studied for safety and efficacy
through clinical trials. These critical phase I/II and phase II trials will center on
oncogene and suppressor gene-targeted therapies for gynecologic malignancies.
Clinical trials are the backbone of cancer care advancement. The Marsha Rivkin
Center is proud to partner with SWOG in this effort

8th Fisher Family and Friends Golf Invitational and Auction
Golf Tournament at the Redmond Ridge Golf Club: August 27, 2009
Auction event at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue: August 30, 2009
On August 27th and 30th, many long-time supporters and new friends participated in
one of the Marsha Rivkin Center’s most important and dynamic fundraising events,
the Fisher Family and Friends Auction & Golf Invitational.
Celebrating at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Thursday, the one-and-only John Curley
was the auctioneer for the evening and Mark Wright from Q13 and Fox News was the
Celebrity Emcee. Guests enjoyed an elegant dinner and feverish bidding on silent and
live auction items such as tickets to a 2010 American Idol taping, a trip to New York
Fashion Week, and a Michael Jackson autographed guitar.
On Sunday, golfers continued the fun by gathering at the Redmond Ridge Golf Club
for an early morning shotgun tournament. The two events raised $380,000 to help take
the Marsha Rivkin Center one step closer to winning the fight against ovarian cancer.

Linda was diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer in June 2006, after being treated
for symptoms that she had had for 5 years that she now knows were early signs of
her undiagnosed cancer.
After a consult with Dr. Saul Rivkin, Linda told him that if she survived, she was going
to start an ovarian cancer awareness project. “Without a routine screening tool,” she
says, “awareness is the key to early diagnosis.” She did her first educational presentation
in October 2007 and has continued getting the word out wherever and whenever she
is invited.
Diane was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer in March of 2006, after
experiencing stomach discomfort, bloating, and weight gain. An intuitive nurse
suggested she get an ultrasound. “My life has been different ever since,” she says.
Following her diagnosis, Diane was showered with support from the people who know
and love her. Her triplet sisters have been by her side for every doctor appointment and
milestone along the way and in 2008, with the support of her many friends and family,
Diane raised $25,000 with 54 team members at the Swedish SummeRun.
“When life gets you down, you really find out who your friends are and I have found
that I have friends and family who love me very much. That inspires me to keep
fighting and to stick around.”

simplest of things – a reliable diagnostic tool
for ovarian cancer. My greatest wish in life
is to see the day when women will not have
to depend on luck to survive this devastating
disease. The Marsha Rivkin Center not only
shares in that dream, but is a driving force in
turning dreams into reality through research.”

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic cancer and affects thousands of women and their families.
If diagnosed and treated before the cancer spreads, more than 90 percent of women survive. However,
less than 20 percent of all ovarian cancers are detected at this early stage. We encourage women to
know the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer to help catch the disease at its earliest stage.
Signs and Symptoms
Ellen Kuo
Development Director
• Bloating
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)

Take Action
These symptoms may be caused by ovarian cancer or by other, less serious conditions. It is important
to check with a doctor, preferably a gynecologist, about these symptoms if they are new and persist
for 2–3 weeks, especially if you experience several at one time. Tests for ovarian cancer include
a combination pelvic/rectal exam, CA 125 blood test, and a transvaginal ultrasound. A Pap smear
is NOT a test for ovarian cancer. If ovarian cancer is suspected, consult a gynecologic oncologist.
