Ovarian cancer surgery: does following guidelines save money and improve life quality?
NCT ID NCT02854215
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether following national guidelines for ovarian cancer surgery is cost-effective. Researchers measured the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) over three years in 200 women with advanced ovarian cancer. The goal was to understand the economic impact of guideline adherence, not to test a new treatment.
