Early diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma: is a solution in sight?

AM Lutz, JK Willmann, CW Drescher, P Ray… - Radiology, 2011 - pubs.rsna.org
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of the gynecologic malignancies. Because ovarian cancer
symptoms are subtle and nonspecific, the diagnosis is often delayed until the disease is well …

Biomarkers and strategies for early detection of ovarian cancer

…, CY Han, KH Lu, KS Anderson, CW Drescher… - … Biomarkers & Prevention, 2020 - AACR

Use of a Symptom Index, CA125, and HE4 to predict ovarian cancer

…, KA Lowe, N Scholler, L Bergan, CW Drescher… - Gynecologic …, 2010 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND.: Prior studies suggest that combining the Symptom Index (SI) with a serum
HE4 test or a CA125 test may improve prediction of ovarian cancer. However, these three …
