DOvEEgene/WISE Genomics: Diagnosing Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer Early Using Genomics

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

This study aims to develop and validate a test for detecting ovarian and endometrial cancers early. It relies on detecting somatic mutations that are associated with these cancers from a uterine pap test. A saliva sample is also collected that acts as an internal control and has the ability to detect deleterious germline mutations associated with common hereditary cancers (such as breast, ovarian, endometrial, colon, and pancreatic cancers). A machine learning classifier is then used to discriminate between cancer and benign disease.
