Minimally invasive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
Official title: Efficiency of Laparoscopic Interval Cytoreductive Surgery After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Stage III and IV Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Run by Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia de Mexico · NCT06883409 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a less invasive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer can be just as effective as traditional surgery after patients have received chemotherapy, while also helping them recover faster and feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include women diagnosed with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer who have shown a partial or complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unresectable disease or those who have not responded adequately to chemotherapy 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 study aims to demonstrate that laparoscopic interval cytoreductive surgery is as effective as open surgery for patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy. By utilizing minimally invasive techniques, the study seeks to provide patients with the benefits of reduced recovery time and improved quality of life while continuing their complementary treatments. The approach involves evaluating patients' responses to chemotherapy through PET-CT imaging before proceeding with surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with minimally invasive approaches in various cancers, suggesting potential success for this method in ovarian cancer as well.
