Non-interventional Study to Collect Real-world Clinical and Patient-reported Outcomes in Ovarian Cancer

This prospective non-interventional study is intended to generate new data and insights into first-line (1L) treatment of newly diagnosed advanced high-grade epithelial Ovarian cancer (OC) in Germany relevant for patients, physicians and payers. It will capture the influence of 1L Poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance treatment (MTX) on medical routine in Germany, especially on:

* outcome of the 3-steps 1L treatment phase (including surgery, Chemotherapy (CTX) and MTX) including the potential of patients with primary advanced OC to be cured, * patient's follow-up (FU) during and after MTX therapy, * patient-reported outcomes (PROs), experiences and needs, * physician's experience, * BRCA/HRD and genomic scar testing behavior at diagnosis/during 1L therapy, * patient selection for different 1L systemic treatment approaches, * use and safety of drugs, * treatment sequence in case of recurrence
