OVHIPEC-2

About this trial

The objective of this study is to prove that treatment with primary cytoreductive surgery in combination with HIPEC (treatment arm) improves outcome compared to primary cytoreductive surgery without HIPEC (standard arm) with acceptable morbidity, in patients with FIGO stage III epithelial ovarian cancer who are eligible for primary cytoreductive surgery with no residual disease, or residual disease up to 2.5 mm.

Patient Profile

This trial is open to females aged 18 years or older who have a formal diagnosis from their doctor of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or extra-ovarian cancer.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cells covering the surface of the ovaries.

In Stage III, the cancer typically extends beyond the ovaries and may involve the pelvic organs, such as the fallopian tubes or the lining of the abdominal cavity. It may also involve nearby lymph nodes.
