This trial tests a prehab program for older adults with certain cancers before they begin chemotherapy. The program may help you feel stronger and handle treatment better.
This trial studies whether an additional treatment after surgery can help people with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer live longer and stay well for more time. It is meant for patients who had a detailed staging operation and are able to start treatment within 8 weeks.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer do better with surgery first versus chemotherapy first. It also groups people based on how extensive the cancer is to choose the best approach.
This trial tests whether short-term fasting before chemotherapy is better than eating freely for women with advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if fasting can help treatment work better or reduce side effects.
This trial studies whether a carefully planned “fasting-mimicking” diet can be safely added to chemotherapy for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help improve how the body handles treatment, but you must meet specific nutrition and cancer-response criteria.
This trial tests whether alternating between a fasting day and a normal eating day can help people recovering from gynecologic cancer surgery while they receive chemotherapy. It aims to see if this eating pattern is safe and helpful during treatment.
