Evaluating CT features in ovarian cancer for AI model development
Official title: CT Detected Tumour Infiltration Patterns of the Mesentery in High Grade Ovarian Carcinoma (HGSOC) Patients, Their Role in Treatment Planning and Outcome Prediction and How Machine Learning Can be Applied to Identify Them.
Run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT06331130 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if certain CT scan features in women with advanced ovarian cancer can help create an AI model to predict surgery success and chemotherapy response.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women over 18 with confirmed high-grade serous ovarian cancer and mesenteric involvement at advanced stages.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage ovarian cancer or those with non-serous high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess whether computed tomography (CT) features at diagnosis in women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) can be utilized to create an artificial intelligence model. The model will focus on identifying pathological involvement of the mesentery, which may affect the feasibility of optimal debulking surgery and predict resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. The study will include women over 18 years old with confirmed HGSOC and mesenteric involvement, specifically those at advanced FIGO stages IIIB-IV.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical planning and treatment strategies for patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AI in medical imaging is gaining traction, this specific approach to mesenteric involvement in ovarian cancer is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
