New study aims to catch ovarian cancer spread earlier with deeper tissue sampling
NCT ID NCT07271914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether removing a larger piece of the pelvic lining during surgery can find tiny cancer deposits that standard biopsies might miss. About 390 adults with early-stage ovarian or fallopian tube cancer will undergo this procedure. The goal is to improve staging accuracy and potentially guide better treatment decisions.
