Dietary Magnesium in Preventing Low Blood Magnesium Levels in Patients with Ovarian Cancer Receiving Carboplatin Chemotherapy

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This trial studies how well a diet high in magnesium works in preventing low blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) in patients with ovarian cancer receiving carboplatin chemotherapy. Hypomagnesemia is a common side effect of carboplatin-containing chemotherapy. A magnesium rich diet may increase the levels of magnesium in the blood and help prevent hypomagnesemia resulting from carboplatin chemotherapy.
