Genetic risk prediction for hereditary ovarian cancer

A Cohort Study of Hereditary Ovarian Cancer Risk Prediction Models and Pathogenesis Exploration

Peking University Third Hospital · NCT06564428

This study is trying to create a way to predict the risk of ovarian cancer in families with a history of the disease to help guide prevention efforts for those at high risk.

What this trial studies

This project aims to establish a multicenter cohort of hereditary ovarian cancer patients in China to analyze their clinicopathologic features and develop a risk prediction model. By following up on clinical and pathological data, genetic test results, and family histories, the study seeks to quantify cancer risk in first-degree relatives of mutation carriers. Additionally, it aims to identify novel tumor-causing mutations and predisposing genes through gene sequencing in families with hereditary tumors. The ultimate goal is to guide preventive interventions for high-risk populations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer who have germ line pathogenic or suspected pathogenic mutations.

Not a fit: Patients with non-epithelial ovarian cancer or those who have not undergone genetic testing may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve risk assessment and management strategies for individuals at high risk of hereditary ovarian cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in developing genetic risk prediction models for various cancers, suggesting potential for this approach in ovarian cancer as well.
