Blood test to detect ovarian cancer before surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects a blood sample before you have surgery or a biopsy for an ovarian mass. Researchers will test whether a new blood test can accurately identify ovarian cancer by looking at DNA patterns in your blood. The results will help doctors understand if this blood test could help detect ovarian cancer earlier in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and have an ovarian or nearby pelvic mass that needs surgery or biopsy
- This is your first surgery or biopsy for this particular mass at this hospital
- Imaging (ultrasound or CT scan) shows a cyst, solid mass, or mixed mass that needs further evaluation
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or other cancer treatments for this mass yet
- A blood sample can be drawn before your surgery and properly stored according to study procedures
- You are willing to provide written consent and allow your medical records and test results to be used for research

This study tests a new blood test to help doctors determine if an ovarian mass is cancerous before surgery. If you are a woman over 18 with an ovarian cyst or mass that needs surgery, this test could help guide your care.
This study checks whether a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help find ovarian cancer when it’s suspected. It may help doctors diagnose more accurately and sooner, so the right treatment can start sooner.
This trial checks whether a “liquid biopsy,” a blood test, can help doctors tell apart different causes of a suspicious pelvic/ovarian mass and help with early detection. It may help avoid uncertainty before surgery by adding test results from blood along with imaging and standard markers.
This study is testing a blood test to see if it can catch ovarian cancer early. You may be eligible if you have been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and haven't started treatment yet.
This study is testing a new blood test that may help detect ovarian cancer earlier. Researchers want to see if it can tell the difference between people with ovarian cancer and those without it.
This study is for women with advanced ovarian cancer who have finished first treatment and are in complete remission. It uses a blood test to look for tiny amounts of leftover cancer cells, which could help guide future care.
