Genetic: Testing of BRCA status regarding germline and somatic mutation |
- Germline alterations in BRCA1/2 (yes/no) and other ovarian cancer predisposing genes (yes/no; if yes which) [ Time Frame: once per sample ]
- Results of Immunohistochemistry in tumor samples [ Time Frame: once per sample ]
- Somatic alterations in BRCA1/2 (yes/no) and other ovarian cancer predisposing genes (yes/no; if yes which) [ Time Frame: once per sample ]
- BRCAness tumor phenotype in ovarian cancer (yes/no). [ Time Frame: once per sample ]
- Differences of tumor samples from primary and relapsed disease [ Time Frame: once per sample for each stage of disease ]
- Patient Survey for perspectives and satisfaction regarding testing and counseling [ Time Frame: once after BRCA result is available ]3 questions
- Determining the correlation of genetic alterations, cancer treatments, overall survival, progression-free survival and occurrence of new malignancies [ Time Frame: once ]
- Validate the results from Pennington et al. (Pennington et al. Clin Cancer Res 2014) [ Time Frame: once ]
- Evaluate predictive value of PARp-1 expression for HRD mutations [ Time Frame: once for all samples ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
