About this trial
This project entails the collection of a prospective cohort of ascites (AS) samples from High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) patients.
High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality, due to the late-stage diagnosis and failure of surgery and chemotherapy (CHT) to eradicate the disease with no significant improvement in overall survival.
The primary objective of the project is to generate a comprehensive map of ascites cell components, detailing both their intrinsic features and the landscape of cellular interactions mediated by soluble factors in ascitic fluid.
