NCT00345709
Long-Term Objectives: * To establish an ongoing national research registry of epidemiologic, clinical and pathologic data on low grade and low malignant potential (LMP) ovarian cancer patients in UTMDACC's Department of Gynecologic Oncology for research purposes. * To create a bank of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer tumor blocks for study of the molecular and histopathologic differences among low grade ovarian cancer, ovarian LMP tumors and high grade ovarian cancer. * To specify the epidemiologic and clinical profile of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer patients. * To identify potential precursors of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer. * To assess treatment patterns to guide management of these diseases. * To collect quality of life and health outcomes data on these patients. * To achieve a fundamental understanding of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer that will inform prevention and screening efforts, motivate development of improved treatments and eventually result in a cure. The short-term objectives are: * To detail procedures for potential registrant identification and recruitment. * To create a demographic and health history questionnaire for potential registrants. * To begin aggregating low grade and low malignant potential ovarian tumor blocks. * To specify a timeline for the development of all other aspects of the Registry.
NCT00002568
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug or combining chemotherapy with surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and cisplatin with or without surgery in treating patients with stage III ovarian epithelial cancer.
