Ovarian Cancer Screening articles

Ovarian cancer screening does not improve survival
In a clinical trial that included nearly 80,000 women, those who received ovarian cancer screening did not have a reduced risk of death from ovarian cancer compared to women who received usual care, but did have an increase in invasive medical procedures and associated harms as a result of being screened.

Simple blood test may detect ovarian cancer early
Researchers find out that CA-125 protein may help detact ovarian cancer in its early stage. The findings were presented by Karen Lu, M.D., professor in MD Anderson's Department of Gynecologic Oncology, in advance of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting.

Symptoms have little value to diagnose ovarian cancer earlier
Use of symptoms to trigger a medical evaluation for ovarian cancer does not appear to detect early-stage ovarian cancer earlier and would likely result in diagnosis in only 1 out of 100 women in the general population with such symptoms, revealed in an article.

Blood & ultrasound can diagnose ovarian cancer early
Blood test combined with ultrasound scan can diagnose ovarian cancer (gynecological cancer) early in postmenopausal women, almost 2 years earlier than normal, reported by the British researchers in the Lancet.
