Nineteen (7%) women with known BRCA1/2 mutations underwent surgery; in 11 women, the pre-operative US was abnormal. All pre-operative CA-125 blood tests were normal. Overall, 1 (0.4%) woman was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a stage IA, grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Screening tools...
Ovarian cancer is an abnormal cell growth (tumour) arising in the ovary. The majority of ovarian cancers are epithelial and develop in women over 50. Screening is highly recommended in women with a family history of ovarian cancer. Latest Research and Reviews ...
The largest trial of ovarian cancer screening — which compared annual screening with no annual screening in more than 200,000 women, who were followed for 14 years — has concluded that screening could reduce mortality from the disease by about 20%. However, researchers from the United Kingdom...

摘要: concludes that CA-125 levels are not sensitive enough to screen for ovarian cancer. We believe that this test is an effective screening tool if used correctly.关键词: BONE NEOPLASM METASTASIS NEOPLASMS, UNKNOWN PRIMARY DOI: 10.5772/27630 ...
Screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women who are not known to have a high-risk hereditary cancer syndrome has no benefit and may lead to harm due to false positives, according to a new review conducted by the US Preventive Services Task Force (
When the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) updated its ovarian cancer screening recommendation in April, it wasn't the first time transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) and serum tumor marker cancer antigen CA-125 came up short as screening tools for asymptomatic women. The task force issued...
These results suggest that many women need additional education about ovarian cancer risk. Most women overestimated their risk for this disease. Some average-risk women get screening although it is not recommended outside of randomized trials, and a significant percentage of women at high risk fail...
Physical examination, serum CA-125, and transvaginal ultrasound have been advocated for screening of women at high risk for the development of ovarian cancer. However, no screening modality or combination of modalities has been shown to decrease the number of fatalities from ovarian cancer. This ...
At present, there is no reliable method of ovarian cancer screening which has been shown to reduce mortality from ovarian cancer. Therefore, routine screening of women in general population can not be currently advised. Screening should be limited to high-risk population and subjects participating ...
