U.S., Dec. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07271914) titled 'PONDER: Pelvic Peritonectomy in Early Stage Ovarian Tumors' on Nov. 18.
Brief Summary: Early-stage ovarian tumors represent approximately 30% of all newly diagnosed ovarian cancers. Current international guidelines recommend random peritoneal biopsies for surgical staging, but the diagnostic yield of these biopsies remains limited. The PONDER study aims to evaluate whether standardized surgical procedure and pathology assessment of wider peritoneal pelvic biopsies can increase the detection rate of microscopic peritoneal implants and micrometastases in patients with early-stage ovarian tumors. This multicenter, prospective, single-a...
