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 following 450 women with ovarian cancer who are having surgery. Researchers want to understand how a patient's overall physical strength and fitness—called 'frailty'—affects survival and recovery after surgery. The study will also test whether it's safe to reverse a temporary bowel opening (called a stoma) earlier than doctors usually do.
Doctors know that some patients recover better from cancer surgery than others, but they don't fully understand why. This research aims to identify which patients might struggle after surgery so doctors can plan better care, and to see if patients can safely go back to normal bowel function sooner than current practice allows.

You will complete questionnaires and physical fitness assessments before your surgery. Researchers will use three different tools to measure your overall strength and fitness level. After your surgery, doctors will track your recovery, complications, and how you feel—including any bowel-related symptoms. For participants at one hospital, doctors will also test whether closing the temporary bowel opening early is safe. The study follows you through your recovery and beyond.
