Researchers are studying the environment around ovarian cancer cells to understand how cancer develops and spreads. They will collect small samples of your tumor tissue during your planned surgery and grow them in the laboratory as tiny three-dimensional models. These mini-tumors will help doctors learn which treatments work best for each person's cancer.
Most ovarian cancer treatments are designed for everyone, but each person's cancer is different. By studying the unique environment within and around tumor cells, researchers hope to develop personalized therapies that work better for individual patients and improve survival rates.

You will participate as part of your planned surgery for ovarian cancer. During your surgical procedure, doctors will remove small tissue samples from your tumor and nearby healthy tissue — this is in addition to the cancer removal surgery you're already having. These samples will be sent to the laboratory where researchers will grow them into miniature tumors and study how they respond to different treatments. Your involvement takes place during your one surgery; there are no additional visits or follow-up appointments required for this study.
