Study design. Schematic representation of fecal sampling for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer given neoadjuvant (top) or adjuvant (bottom) chemotherapy. Diamonds indicate sampling time-points, i.e., at diagnosis (T0), before and after each chemotherapy cycle (C), and at follow-ups every 3 months from the end of therapy. Chemotherapy courses were repeated every 3 weeks depending on the tumor response.
