Can a personalised tool sharpen ovarian cancer risk prediction?
NCT ID NCT07809659
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are comparing two ways to assess ovarian cancer risk in people who are cancer-free but may be at higher risk because of family history or genetics. One approach follows standard national guidelines, using family history and sometimes genetic testing. The other uses the CanRisk tool, which combines family history, genetic test results, and other health and lifestyle factors to estimate risk more personally. The study measures whether CanRisk is practical, acceptable to doctors and participants, and cost-effective in everyday care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- the CanRisk risk assessment tool
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a more personalised way to estimate ovarian cancer risk and guide who needs closer monitoring or preventive options.
- What could go wrong
- This trial measures whether the tool is practical and acceptable, not whether it saves lives. A tool that works in research may still be too slow, costly, or hard to fit into busy clinics.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Women, trans men, non-binary people with female reproductive organs 2. Aged 18 to 75 years 3. Referred or self-referred because of a family history suggestive of increased risk for ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneum cancer, or because a family member has been found to have a PV associated with OC risk 4. Able to give informed consent 5. Expected to remain in the study catchment area for the duration of follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Personal history of cancer 2. Previously undergone Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy (RRSO) 3. Previously undergone multifactorial risk assessment (using CanRisk or another tool) incorporating risk factors, family history and genetic testing (panel +/- PGS) 4. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the participant's ability to participate or comply with study requirements
