Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to investigate the metabolism of cells in the ascites tumour microenvironment of ovarian cancer patients. This observational study involves intravenous infusion of \[U-13C\]glucose into patients during standard paracentesis.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Ovarian cancer * Any stage or grade of disease * Ascites fluid that requires draining * Any treatment regimen * Primary or recurrent ascites * Understands the concept of the study and give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants must not have diabetes or abnormal hemoglobin A1C levels. * The patient's glucose levels must be between 4 - 11.1 mM before administering an infusion. This is to ensure that patients are within normal blood glucose levels, as described by Diabetes Canada. * Participants cannot receive chemotherapy treatment during the 5 hour duration of the experiment as it may compromise the integrity of the data.
