This is a long-term observational study designed to improve early detection and prevention of ovarian and other gynecologic cancers. Researchers collect blood, tissue, and other biological samples along with detailed health information over time. 

The study also aims to better understand how gynecologic cancers develop in high-risk individuals and those undergoing gynecologic surgery.

Women ages 18–80 who:

  • Are at increased risk for ovarian cancer
  • Are undergoing gynecologic surgery
  • Or are healthy individuals with no cancer history
