Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

To compare patient outcomes following interval and delayed cytoreductive surgeries and no surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone) and international variations in access to cytoreductive surgeries in women with advanced stage ovarian cancer.

After implementation of systematic image description of adnexal masses, we aim to improve and evaluate our use of available imaging methods and biomarkers for classifying adnexal masses and distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses in the hands of clinicians in Central Denmark Region. Secondarily, we want to improve our management of adnexal masses by evaluating the complications and longitudinal changes in conservatively managed adnexal masses. Data is registered prospectively but analyzed retrospectively.

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate treatments and outcomes of patients with low grade serous ovarian carcinomas in Italy.

This study collects information to maintain a database on patients with low-grade ovarian or peritoneal tumors. Collecting information about the type of cancer and treatment, as well as details about follow-up care, may help researchers learn and better understand these tumor types and help develop better treatments for them.

This study will collect the data from existing patient medical records at US cancer centers. The study will include patients with BRCAwt ovarian cancer who have been prescribed first line (1L) olaparib maintenance treatment.

This study aims to evaluate the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome and quality of life after cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer patients.

This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.

The study aims to develop a test for early detection of ovarian cancer using DNA from a growth involving the ovary found in a washing of the uterus (womb), and proteins found in the blood. The samples of the wash and the blood will be taken before surgery. After surgery, doctors will determine whether the participant had ovarian cancer or a benign disease of the ovaries. The tests of the washings and the blood will be examined to see how much the participants with ovarian cancer can be separated from the participants with a benign ovarian disease by the tests. Small amounts from the washing and the blood samples will be sent to four sites for analysis. Statistical analyses of these data will compare tumor DNA found in the washing of the uterus with proteins in the blood to detect cases of ovarian cancer. The primary goal is to find tests that are mostly positive for cases of ovarian cancer and mostly negative for patients with benign disease. It is hoped that if the tests work for participants with symptoms of the disease that these tests will also work when testing women who have no symptoms. A new study would be needed to see if the tests worked in this situation. If the tests work, this could lead to increasing the number of cases detected in early stage disease and decreasing the number of cases detected in late stage disease. If this change in late stage is large, it will likely reduce deaths due to ovarian cancer.

To elucidate factors affecting survival of early stage ovarian cancer

This study will investigate, in patients with germline BRCA-1/2 mutations and breast cancer, arising during and / or after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and / or with PARP-inhibitors for ovarian cancer, the presence of molecular alterations potentially involved in the mechanisms of resistance to antineoplastic treatment on breast and ovarian tumor tissue.
