Pelvic Mass Study to Develop Serum Proteomic Profiles (SIGNATURES) for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
Pelvic Mass Study to Develop Serum Proteomic Profiles (SIGNATURES) for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
RATIONALE: Finding specific proteins in the blood may help doctors tell whether a patient has ovarian cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well proteomic profiling works in diagnosing ovarian cancer in patients who are undergoing surgery for an abnormal pelvic mass.
OBJECTIVES:
