Official Title: Determinants of Age-Related Treatment Effectiveness in Ovarian Cancer: Prospective Study of Pharmacokinetics Patterns and Underlying Biology
Brief Summary:
While significant progress has been made in the treatment and prognosis of ovarian cancer, this progress has mostly shown benefits for younger women.
This study aims to understand two things: How body composition (the amount of muscle and water versus fat in in the body) affects the dose and side effects of chemotherapy; and the biological reason for the worse prognosis with aging. To get a good view of these effects, investigators are asking the help of both younger and older women for this project.
