Scientists hunt for blood 'Fingerprint' to predict Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT00086567

Summary

This study aimed to develop a new blood test to better predict if ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer will come back after successful treatment. Researchers collected blood samples from 119 women whose cancer was in remission to look for specific patterns of proteins that might signal a high risk of relapse. The goal was to create a more accurate tool than the current standard test (CA-125) to help doctors monitor patients.
