Study Looking at Biomarkers in Ovarian Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a sample study that will collect biological samples (blood, tumor tissue, ascites, and/or other fluids) from gynecological cancer patients for biomarker research. In addition, the results of the testing done on the samples will be given to the participant's treating physician who may use the information to guide treatment decisions.

Experimental: Sample Collection The following samples may be collected during the study: Tumour tissue samples Blood samples Ascites samples Other fluids requiring drainage |
Procedure: Tumour tissue collection
Tumour tissue will be taken from samples already removed from surgery or biopsy or by new tumour biopsies:
At the time of diagnosis or progression
Any surgical procedures for management of tumour related medical conditions
At each subsequent relapse or disease progression
Procedure: Blood sample collection
Blood samples will be taken:
At the time of first diagnosis
About 1 week after starting any treatment
At each radiological response assessment
At each subsequent relapse or disease progression
Procedure: Ascites Collection
Ascites will be collected if paracentesis is required during any of the following time points:
At the time of diagnosis or progression
Any surgical procedures for management of tumour related medical conditions
At each subsequent relapse or disease progression
Procedure: Fluid Collection
Additional fluid will be collected at any time a procedure for clinical management that involves the drainage of fluid (i.e. thoracentesis, or drainage of cystic lesion) is required.
