Artificial Intelligence - Assisted Model for Optimal Timing of Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

February 23, 2026 updated by: Shanghai Gynecologic Oncology Group

An Artificial Intelligence - Assisted Model for Predicting Optimal Timing of Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer: the Combined Study of the SUNNY Trial and the Real World Data

This study integrates data from the randomized controlled SUNNY trial (RCT) and real-world (RWD) data, and employs multimodal data fitting to construct a medical artificial intelligence model to identify the clinical characteristics of patient subgroups suitable for primary debulking surgery (PDS) or interval debulking surgery (IDS), and the cutoff values for selecting different timings of surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.
