Chemo fog inside the belly: could PIPAC boost ovarian cancer surgery success?
NCT ID NCT07514494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if giving chemotherapy as a pressurized mist directly into the abdomen (PIPAC) alongside standard IV chemo can help more women with advanced ovarian cancer have successful tumor-removal surgery. It includes 160 women aged 18-75 with stage IIIB-IIIC disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves surgery outcomes and extends survival.
