Abstract:
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is difficult and is still a matter of chance. Diagnosis rests on pelvic examination, ultrasonography and serum CA125 levels. Surgery establishes a definitive diagnosis and allows accurate staging and primary cytoreduction. No technique suitable for routine screening is currently available.
