What this Trial Is About
This study investigates the impact of perioperative inhibition of beta-adrenergic and COX-2 signaling in ovarian cancer patients undergoing debulking surgery. The trial aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and biological effects of a combination of propranolol and etodolac in reducing cancer metastasis and improving immune responses.
