- There are no recommendations for screening ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women although better outcome is associated with early diagnosis[1]
- Ovarian cancer the fifth most common cause of cancer-related mortality in women
- 75% of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed in an advanced stage
- The reason of increased mortality and late detection of ovarian cancer in its advanced stage is because the screening systems that are being used don't have the required sensitivity and specificity[1].
- Biomarkers from peritoneal fluid can be used as a mean of ealy detection of ovarian cancer but this is stil an emerging proof.
