First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether RNA in saliva can help tell the difference between ovarian cancer, borderline tumors, and benign cysts. Researchers are collecting saliva samples from 746 women before and after surgery. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to speed up diagnosis and improve care for women with ovarian masses.
