Run by University of Aarhus · NCT05842629 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to improve how doctors diagnose ovarian cancer by using different imaging techniques and descriptions to better tell the difference between harmless and harmful growths in the ovaries.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with an adnexal mass identified through ultrasonography.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without an adnexal mass or those who have already undergone definitive treatment for ovarian cancer may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to enhance the diagnosis of adnexal masses by implementing systematic image descriptions and evaluating various imaging methods and biomarkers. It focuses on distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses through ultrasonography, MRI, and PET-CT, guided by IOTA recommendations. The study will also assess the management of conservatively treated adnexal masses by monitoring complications and longitudinal changes. Data will be collected prospectively but analyzed retrospectively, ensuring adherence to national and regional clinical guidelines.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate diagnoses of ovarian cancer, improving patient outcomes and treatment strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing systematic imaging approaches have shown promise in improving diagnostic accuracy for ovarian cancer, indicating that this approach is supported by prior research.
