PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To validate the ability of intratumoral tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with suboptimally debulked advanced stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer.
II. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict PFS in patients with optimally debulked disease.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict overall survival of patients with suboptimally debulked disease.
II. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict overall survival of patients with optimally debulked disease.
OUTLINE:
Patients are stratified according to status of debulked disease (suboptimal vs optimal).
Previously collected tumor tissue samples are analyzed for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) via immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence assays using standard immunostaining.

You may be eligible if
Diagnosis of stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer and enrolled on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG)-0136 and a GOG front-line platinum/taxol chemotherapy trial (GOG-0114, GOG-132, GOG-0158, or GOG-0162)
Must have fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue from primary surgery available from 1 of the following sources:
* Patients enrolled on GOG-0136 and a GOG front-line platinum/taxol chemotherapy trial(GOG-0114, GOG-0132, GOG-0158, and GOG-0162)
* Patients who have had either optimal or suboptimal cytoreductive surgery
* Patients for whom adequate demographic data, including major prognostic factors and follow-up information, were collected
Evaluable patients must have had measurable or nonmeasurable disease
