Analysis of the ovarian (infundibulopelvic) ligament removed during ovarian cancer surgery

Official title: Anatomopathological Analysis of the Infundibulopelvic Ligament in Patients With Ovarian Cancer

Run by Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno Infantil · NCT07100288 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether cancer in the infundibulopelvic ligament removed at surgery is linked to para‑aortic lymph node spread and outcomes in people with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

People with epithelial ovarian cancer (including serous, endometrioid, mucinous, and carcinosarcoma) FIGO 2014 stage IA–IVB who undergo complete primary or interval staging surgery with no residual disease and have ECOG 0–1 are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non‑epithelial ovarian tumors, ECOG 2–4, incomplete staging or residual disease after cytoreduction, or those who do not have the ligament resected are unlikely to benefit from this analysis.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational pathology study that examines infundibulopelvic ligament tissue resected as part of complete staging surgery in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Researchers will analyze the ligament specimens for tumor involvement and correlate those findings with para‑aortic lymph node status and patient outcomes. Eligible patients include those undergoing primary or interval complete staging surgery (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy, pelvic and para‑aortic lymphadenectomy, omentectomy) with no residual disease and ECOG 0–1. The goal is to determine whether ligament involvement is associated with metastatic spread and survival.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If ligament involvement predicts nodal spread or worse outcomes, findings could help clinicians improve staging and tailor surgical or adjuvant management.

How similar studies have gone: Some prior pathology series have reported that infundibulopelvic ligament involvement correlates with para‑aortic node metastasis and poorer survival, but the evidence remains limited and not widely validated.
