Peter E. Schwartz Discovery To Cure: Advancing the Prevention, Early Detection & Treatment of Women's Reproductive Cancers

Discovery to Cure was launched in 2003 to provide women with new methods for the prevention, early detection and treatment of gynecologic cancers. The direct connection between the research lab and clinical patient care makes Discovery to Cure the leading center for women’s reproductive cancer research and treatment.

In May of 2023, the Discovery To Cure program's name was officially changed to Peter E. Schwartz Discovery To Cure in honor and in respect of the commitment he has shown this program and to Yale School of Medicine.

As a survivor of ovarian cancer, whose life was saved by early detection, I know how important it is to fund research of this terrible disease….I was diagnosed by luck, but nobody should have to survive by luck.

Rosa DeLauro, Congresswoman and 30 Year Ovarian Cancer Survivor
