Second Look Laparoscopy for Disease Evaluation in Patients Who Have Completed Initial Chemotherapy for Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial tests the safety, feasibility, and outcomes of undergoing a second look laparoscopy (SLL) for disease status evaluation after initial chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). SLL is a type of surgery that uses a laparoscope to look inside the abdomen without making a large incision. SLL can remove tissue to be checked for minimal residual disease (small amounts of cancer cells in the body after a person receives treatment). SLL may provide more information on disease status and outcomes in patients who have completed initial chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer.
