Screening for Ovarian Cancer.
Ovarian cancer is difficult to manage because the disease is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage when survival chances are poor. Early detection of ovarian cancer would increase long-term survival, since effective treatment modalities are available for early-onset disease. Screening with transvaginal ultrasound and serum CA 125 suggests promising results, but studies comparing mortality r...

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer remains the most deadly of the gynecologic cancers. It is difficult to diagnose until in advanced stages. An effective screening test may help to decrease mortality from ovarian cancer. Due to the low incidence of ovarian cancer in the general population, a good screening test must have high sensitivity and specificity to allow accurate detection without excessive fals...
متن کاملScreening for ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer frequently presents late, when chances for long-term survival are poor. The increased survival advantage for patients diagnosed with early-stage ovarian cancer suggests that screening to detect early-stage disease might have an impact on disease mortality. Attempts are being made to develop effective screening procedures for early ovarian cancer in symptom-free women, using a var...

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies. No precancerous lesions have been identified. Bimanual examination has not been proven to be of value as a screening test. Transvaginal ultrasound examination, with or without measurement of CA 125 levels, is currently being evaluated for population screening. Women at high risk of ovarian cancer should be screened a...
