Promising ovarian cancer blood test with ultrasound screening
A US study of 3 252 women aged 50 to 74 links a blood test CA-125 to ultrasound follow ups to detect ovarian cancer early. Eight underwent surgery. five had cancer, including three aggressive tumors, while two invasive cancers were missed and three benign cases were found.
