Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy by imaging and observation of anatomical and biological indicators (i.e. ascites or continuous measurement of tumor marker CA 125). Furthermore the optimal number of preoperative administered cycles of combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and docetaxel should be determined.
