Observational, bi-directional (prospective and retrospective) study for patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer stages IA to IVB, or persistent or recurrent disease from January 2021; irrespective of histology - OLIVIA

The findings from this study have the potential to serve as a foundation for evaluating the current practices related to surgical procedures, systemic therapies, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and referrals to geneticists for OC patients. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the existing care, this project intends to generate valuable insights that can lead to the implementation of quality parameters for the treatment of ovarian cancer in the country.

This study is an observational, bi-directional (prospective and retrospective) analytical study designed to assess the sociodemographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics of patients with ovarian cancer, stages IA to IVB, as well as those with persistent or recurrent disease. The study will include 250 patients who meet the eligibility criteria of being 18 years or older, with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer from January 2021, irrespective of histology, over a 1-year enrollment period across 20 participating sites. Upon enrollment, baseline data will be collected, which includes sociodemographic details, clinical information, pathological findings, and genetic testing and counseling data. Follow-up data will be gathered at 12, 24, and 36 months to monitor treatment patterns and outcomes. These data collection points will allow for the evaluation of both short-term and long-term outcomes, providing valuable insights into the progression and management of ovarian cancer.
