چکیده
Of all the gynecologic cancers, ovarian malignancy represents the greatest clinical challenge because it is difficult for early detection, difficult to cure, and it has the highest fatality to case ratio of all the gynecologic malignancies. Many studies have been tried to find a novel strategy on early detection of ovarian cancer. Ultimately, successful screening in asymptomatic women could increase cure rate and prolong survival among patients who have to live with ovarian cancer.
