NCT ID NCT07567573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed over 11,000 patients with advanced ovarian cancer to see if hospitals that follow ten specific quality standards for surgery have better outcomes. The research looked at how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse and overall survival. The goal is to find out which standards matter most and help improve care for future patients.
