Primary objectives:1. To collect, both prospectively and retrospectively, data on disease characterization, treatment, and outcomes for approximately 1000 female patients with low-grade ovarian and peritoneal tumors. These include ovarian tumors of low malignant potential, low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, primary peritoneal tumors of low malignant potential, low-grade carcinomas of the peritoneum, and psammocarcinoma.
2. To organize clinical information in order to support multifaceted queries of patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcome data and to facilitate correlation of these characteristics with patient outcome.
3. To have a single data repository, kept on a secure platform that will integrate clinical information and research findings and serve as a secure archive for future research.
Secondary objectives:1. To obtain and store human tumor samples in the form of blocks or slides for the purpose of establishing a tumor bank. These samples will serve as the basis for future studies. |
