Inclusion Criteria
Women presenting at Royal Women's Hospital or the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (including peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers), regardless of histological subtype

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determination of the mutations involved in participants' tumours, compared with germline DNA extracted from blood using a customised next generation sequencing panel screening 30 genes associated with ovarian cancer for primary patient management[six to eight weeks after sample receipt]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Clinical followup information and the genetic data from participants will be studied for patterns of mutations and drug responses by performing data linkage to patient medical records.[18 - 36 months after testing (retrospective)];Eventually, it is hoped the genetic data and followup data will facilitate the biological assortment and selection of suitable patients for clinical trials of approved and investigational-targeted therapies[36+ months after testing (retrospective)]
