U.S., Aug. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07772869) titled 'Uterine Lavage to Detect Ovarian Cancer Risk' on Aug. 10.
Brief Summary: This clinical trial develops a non-surgical approach using uterine lavage samples to screen for progression to ovarian cancer in high-risk patients carrying BRCA mutations. Women with inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes (BRCA carriers) have a much higher lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer. Currently there are no effective ovarian cancer screening or early detection tests for BRCA carriers. Uterine lavage is a procedure that uses saline to rinse and collect cells from the fallopian tube. Molecular analysis of these samples may help proactive...
