- Original description
The aim of this project is to investigate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-derived metabolomics from blood samples, functional and metabolic MRI techniques and their ability to improve ovarian cancer diagnostics. Based on the above, a model able to identify ovarian cancer and improve the accuracy of correct diagnosis and disease severity will be proposed.Read full original descriptionShow less

Inclusion: Suspected epithelial ovarian cancer (and referred to dept. of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, AUH); Understanding Danish; Age 18 – 85 years.
Exclusion: Severe renovascular disease; Any other malign disease or recidiv of a former malign disease present within the last 3-5 years (except benign basal basocelluar carcinoma (BBC)); Allergy to pyruvate; Contraindications for MRI with contrast: - eGFR less than 30 ml/min/1.73m2 - Severe unstable asthma - Pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator, neurostimulator or cochlear implant - Metal foreign bodies such as fragments and irremovable piercings - Unsafe medical implants (safety of heart valves, hips and the like must be confirmed) - Claustrophobia - Largest circumference including arms > 160 cm; Substantial cognitive disability that would influence the patients’ ability to either give truly informed consent or listen to / comply with safety-related instructions; Pregnancy.
