MRI tool may help surgeons avoid unnecessary ovary removal in girls
NCT ID NCT07313514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special MRI scoring system called O-RADS can accurately tell if an ovarian mass in girls under 16 is cancerous or not. Researchers will review the MRIs of 100 girls who had surgery for ovarian masses at two hospitals. The goal is to see if this tool can help surgeons choose the right type of surgery—saving healthy ovary tissue when safe, but removing the whole ovary when cancer is likely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better decide whether to remove just the mass or the whole ovary in girls, reducing unnecessary surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The O-RADS system may not be accurate enough in children, and results may not change current practice.
