Metabolism changes in ovarian cancer: a study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's metabolism changes in women with suspected or confirmed ovarian cancer. Researchers will follow participants before and after surgery and chemotherapy to better understand whole-body energy use.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses whole-body scans to look at how active tumors are in women with suspected ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if these scans can predict how well treatment will work, which may help personalize care.
This study looks at certain substances in the body (called metabolic biomarkers) and how they relate to how well patients do after treatment. It is for women who have just been diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer and have not yet had any treatment.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and lifestyle (diet and activity) program can help women with ovarian or endometrial cancer during chemotherapy. You may be assigned to the lifestyle program or usual care to compare outcomes.
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 study tests whether combining exercise with a special diet can improve how your body processes energy (metabolism) before you have surgery to remove the cancer. It is for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who haven't yet started treatment.
