Ovarian tumor genes may reveal who needs stronger treatment
NCT ID NCT03883542
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines genetic mutations in 20 people with serous borderline ovarian tumors, a low-risk type of ovarian growth. Researchers compare tumors with and without implants (spread) to see if certain gene changes predict a higher chance of recurrence. The goal is to learn whether more aggressive treatment could benefit some patients.
