Summary

This study looks at whether RNA in saliva can help tell the difference between ovarian cancer, borderline tumors, and benign cysts. Researchers are collecting saliva samples from 746 women before and after surgery. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to speed up diagnosis and improve care for women with ovarian masses.

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 lead to a simple saliva test to quickly identify ovarian cancer, reducing diagnosis time and improving treatment pathways.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not prove accurate enough for clinical use, and results are still early.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of patients with an ovarian adnexal mass diagnosed by clinical examination and imaging (pelvic ultrasound and/or MRI and/or blood tumour markers) and requiring surgical management in routine care. The patients concerned by the study already benefit from a surgical management in different gynecology-obstetrics/gynecological oncology departments in France, Canada and Tunisia, as well as from a validation of the therapeutic indications in accordance with the national practices in force. The patients concerned by the study will be managed without modification of the care pathway, nor modification of the therapeutic indications, nor modification of the diagnostic or follow-up examinations (imaging and/or blood tumour markers) necessary according to the context which are carried out according to the national and/or international recommendations in force.
