About this trial
* To compare DHODH protein expression in HGSC tissues from patients undergoing Primary Debulking Surgery (PDS - Chemo-naive) versus Interval Debulking Surgery (IDS - Post-NACT). * To evaluate the association between DHODH expression and the degree of chemotherapy response (using the Chemotherapy Response Score - CRS for NACT cases). * To determine the prognostic value of DHODH expression in predicting Platinum-Free Interval (PFI) ,Progression -Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) across both groups.
