Heated chemo during surgery: a new hope for ovarian cancer?
NCT ID NCT01970722
First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery can help lower the risk of cancer returning in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, uterine, or peritoneal cancer. About 40 participants will receive the heated chemo during surgery, and some may also get additional non-heated chemo afterward. The main goal is to check for side effects and see how well patients tolerate the treatment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
heated chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) given into the abdomen during surgery
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could help lower the chance of cancer coming back in patients with advanced or recurrent gynecologic cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 40 participants, so safety and side effects are the main focus. It is not yet known if the heated chemotherapy actually improves survival or prevents recurrence.
