Brief Summary
This research trial studies tissue samples from patients with ovarian cancer in the laboratory. Analyzing tissue samples from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Association between above chromosomal changes and clinical characteristics
baseline
Determination of whether a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of worse overall survival in these patients
baseline
Determination of whether other previously identified chromosomal changes (3q gain, 7q gain, 16q loss, and 17pter-q21 loss) predict outcome
baseline
Identification of up to 5 additional chromosomal changes and their association that may predict outcome (progression-free and overall survival)
baseline
Validation of the observation that a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of shorter progression-free survival in patients with primary grade 2 or grade 3 advanced serous papillary ovarian cancer by PCR and Taqman analyses
baseline
Study Arms (1)
Ancillary-Correlative
Genomic DNA is isolated from OCT-embedded tissue and analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization. The chromosomal changes identified by this method are compared to those identified using the Taqman method, a quantitative genomic polymerase chain reaction analysis. Chromosome 8q is of specific interest. Other chromosomal changes may be detected in chromosomes 3q, 7q, 16q, and/or 17pter-q21.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Stage III or IV, high-grade (grade 2 or 3) ovarian cancers
- No borderline or low-grade (grade 1) tumors
- Tissue from predominately serous ovarian cancer only
- No clear cell, endometrioid, mucinous, transitional cell, or mixed without predominant serous component
- Tissue obtained during prior optimal or suboptimal cytoreductive surgery
- Must be enrolled on GOG-0136 and a GOG front-line paclitaxel/platinum chemotherapy trial
- Frozen tissue and hematoxylin-eosin stained section from the ovary obtained at initial surgery
- Performance status - GOG 0-2
