Long Term Survivors in Ovarian Cancer

University Medical Center Groningen69 enrolled

Overview

In this study the investigators would like to explore the patient and tumour characteristics of long-term survivors of ovarian cancer (\>10 years). Indentifiying the characteristics of long-term survivors not only helps find prognostic factors for survival but may aid in generating hypotheses for novel therapeutic strategies.
