Read our Ovarian Cancer research guide →This study is following women who have surgery to remove advanced ovarian cancer that has spread to the rectum or sigmoid colon (the lower part of the bowel). After this type of surgery, many patients experience changes in bowel function—like more frequent bowel movements or difficulty controlling their bowels. This trial aims to measure how common these changes are and how they affect quality of life after surgery.
Between one-quarter and two-thirds of women with advanced ovarian cancer need surgery to remove tumors from their lower bowel. Doctors know that this surgery can cause ongoing bowel symptoms, but there isn't enough research measuring how often this happens and how much it impacts patients' daily lives. This study will help doctors better understand and potentially prepare patients for these changes.

If you qualify, you will be enrolled in this study after you have your cancer surgery. The study will follow you over time with appointments and questionnaires to assess your bowel symptoms and how you're doing overall. You'll be asked about your bowel function, any changes in your ability to control your bowels, and how these changes affect your daily activities, work, and quality of life.
