Heated chemo during surgery may extend life in ovarian cancer relapse
NCT ID NCT01376752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery can help people with relapsed ovarian cancer live longer. About 415 adults whose cancer returned in the abdomen after initial treatment will take part. The approach aims to control the disease and improve survival, but is not a cure.
