Using ultrasound to predict BRCA genes from healthy ovaries
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether pictures from a vaginal (transvaginal) ultrasound of a healthy ovary can help predict whether someone carries BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes. It may help identify people who could benefit from more genetic testing, without needing new ultrasound images.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You already have BRCA1/2 genetic test results (gBRCA1/2) available
- You had a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound with at least one picture showing a healthy ovary
- Your ultrasound images are saved in DICOM format
- You do not have a personal diagnosis of ovarian cancer
- Your ultrasound should not show certain abnormal growths (functional cysts are allowed)

This study tests whether a transvaginal ultrasound can be used as a screening tool for ovarian cancer in women at higher risk. It may help find ovarian cancer earlier in people who have a strong family or personal cancer history.
This study uses ultrasound to look at how ovarian cancer affects the liver, helping doctors plan surgery better. By taking detailed pictures of the liver before surgery, they hope to improve outcomes for people with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer.
This study collects tissue samples and medical information from people at higher risk for ovarian cancer or undergoing gynecologic surgery. Researchers use this data to develop better ways to detect and prevent ovarian cancer early.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to get better images of ovarian growths before surgery. The goal is to improve detection and help plan the best treatment.
This study uses ultrasound and mammogram images to try to predict the molecular type of breast cancer without needing a biopsy. If it works, it could help doctors choose the most effective treatment sooner.
This study is testing a blood test that may help find ovarian cancer earlier in people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes. It involves giving blood samples before and after surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, or over several years if you've had a precancerous lesion found.
