Good morning all

Have you been diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer and did you have your last dose of first line chemotherapy sometime between 24 October 2021 and 24 August 2022?

If so, you may be eligible to take part in an important new study which aims to identify areas for improvement in supporting the lives of patients at different stages of their treatment pathway and to contribute to the mutual understanding between patients and their consultants, nurses and surgeons.

As well as looking at the emotional and physical effects felt by patients after treatment, it will investigate whether clinicians understand these challenges and how they might be supported to address the clinical and emotional needs of those they treat.

This study involves completing a survey. This is non-interventional observational study, meaning that participants will not receive any treatment as part of the study.

All study participants will receive £50 on successful completion of the survey.

Here is some further information about criteria for participation:

• You must have received treatment in the UK.

• You must be over 18.

• You must have been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer (high grade serous, low grade serous, endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous), fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

• You must have been diagnosed at stage 3 or 4.

• As first line treatment you must have had either:

• Chemotherapy only

• Surgery and then chemotherapy

• Chemotherapy, followed by surgery, followed by more chemotherapy

• You must have finished your first line chemotherapy treatment between two and 12 months prior to taking part in the survey.

Hello everybody,

I was diagnosed ovarian cancer stage 3(C), I have had 9 courses chemotherapy totally but I don't correspond to your criteria for participation.

I had all my treatment in Ukraine and when the russian fascists started the war in February, unfortunately, my chemo was terminated. Now I fight with my country for Victory!

My best regards
