Specimen and Data Study for Ovarian Cancer Early Detection and Prevention
Sponsored by Northwestern University
About this study
RATIONALE: To improve strategies for detection and prevention of early-stage disease. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting specimens and data to develop better methods for early detection and prevention of ovarian cancer among the high risk population and those who have the disease.
OBJECTIVES: * To identify and develop highly sensitive and specific tumor markers for the detection and management of ovarian cancer and other gynecological malignancies. * To identify new prevention approaches and therapies. * To identify measures to improve the quality of life for women at increased risk for developing the disease and for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. OUTLINE: Subjects undergo periodic specimen and data collection for research studies, including molecular, biochemical, functional, and genetic marker studies. Participants may have samples of blood, tissue, or body fluids (such as ascites, pleural fluid or urine), or any combination of the aforementioned samples obtained to develop tumor markers to detect early stage or recurrent ovarian cancer. The results from …
