PRECISE Study (Ovarian Cancer) - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

We are doing this study to find out if we can identify biomarkers that indicate the presence of ovarian cancer or indicate that it is likely to develop. Biomarkers are substances that can be released from cancer cells into the blood and can provide information on the following things: changes to someone's genes or DNA, how cancer cells will respond to cancer treatment, and whether cells are becoming resistant (no longer responding) to cancer treatment.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Ovarian Cancer Detection and Risk Determination
