Simple blood tests may help predict ovarian cancer treatment success

NCT ID NCT07678008

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether certain blood-based markers, such as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the CA-125 elimination rate (KELIM score), can predict survival and surgical outcomes in women with advanced ovarian cancer. Researchers will review medical records of 80 patients who received chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if these markers can help forecast how long patients live without the disease worsening and whether surgery will be successful.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better predict which patients with advanced ovarian cancer will respond to chemotherapy and surgery, potentially guiding more personalized treatment plans.

What could go wrong

This is a small, retrospective study, so results may not apply to all patients. The markers studied are not yet proven to be reliable enough for routine clinical use.
