Read our Ovarian Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a surgical approach called laparoscopic debulking surgery for women with advanced ovarian cancer. Instead of making a large surgical incision, surgeons use small cuts and a camera to remove cancer. The trial wants to see if this less invasive approach works well for ovarian cancer patients.
Currently, most women with advanced ovarian cancer undergo traditional open surgery, which involves a larger incision and longer recovery. Doctors want to know if the newer, gentler laparoscopic approach can achieve the same cancer-removal results while reducing pain, scarring, and recovery time.

First, you'll have a diagnostic laparoscopy (a small surgical procedure to examine your pelvis with a camera) to confirm whether you can have laparoscopic surgery. If you're eligible, you'll discuss the study with your cancer care team and sign consent forms. Then you'll receive laparoscopic debulking surgery to remove the cancer, or if needed, you may first receive chemotherapy and then have interval surgery. The study will follow you after surgery to see how well this approach works.
