Validation of the Cukurova Score for ovarian cancer treatment decisions

Is this trial a fit for you?

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 validate the Cukurova score, which prioritizes surgical procedures for patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer based on radiological imaging and clinical performance rather than solely on tumor burden. The study will include patients who are suspected to have advanced ovarian cancer and have been pathologically confirmed to have Stage III-IV disease. By assessing the effectiveness of the Cukurova score, the study seeks to improve decision-making regarding primary cytoreductive surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The ultimate goal is to enhance surgical outcomes and patient management in advanced ovarian cancer cases.
