Dedicated To Improving The Cure Rates
Of Women With Gynecologic Cancer
Women's Cancer Research Foundation

The Women’s Cancer Research Foundation (WCRF) treats women with gynecologic cancer (ovarian, endometrial [uterine], and cervical). The WCRF has one goal: To improve the cure rates of patients with gynecologic cancer. WCRF is a public 501 (c) (3) nonprofit foundation headquartered in Newport Beach.

The WCRF designs and participates in nationwide multi-year cutting edge research in pursuit of its mission. The organization has a network of approximately 40 dedicated physicians throughout the United States who care for thousands of gynecologic cancer patients annually and understand that the key to improving cure rates is prevention, early diagnosis, and new treatments.

More than 3,300 Southern California patients were served by the WCRF in 2006. Many WCRF patients credit Dr. Micha, Dr. Brown, and Dr. Rettenmaier with saving their life and giving them hope.


We’re committed to making a difference.
